"Facebook’s Latest Leak Includes Data on Millions of Users (Updated)"

A researcher has discovered databases containing more than 419 million records tied to Facebook accounts on an exposed server that wasn't protected with a password. The databases found, includes phone numbers, Facebook IDs, and in some cases users' names, genders and countries.  The dataset included 133 million records on Facebook users in the US, 18 million on people in the UK and 50 million on users in Vietnam. It is not clear who pulled that information from Facebook or why.  The dataset has been taken down and there has been no evidence that Facebook accounts were compromised.
