The lead European Union data privacy regulator for Meta (META.O) has fined the social media giant 251 million euros ($263.5 million) for a 2018 Facebook security breach that affected 29 million users.
Meta notified Ireland’s Data Protection Commission at the time that cyber attackers had exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that impacted the “View As” feature that lets users see what their own profile looks like to someone else.
