The hackers have carried out the biggest cyberattack in Facebook history.

The company has confirmed Friday that the data of over 30 million users, where they had access to phone numbers and emails, CNN reports.

And hackers have received even more data from 14 million users among them, including information about where they live, their status, religion, and part of their research history, it transmits Koha.net.

“The FBI is making active investigation into this split of”, says Guy Rosen, vice president of Facebook. While adding that the FBI has asked no details about who is behind this attack, it could harm investigations.

This news comes in two weeks after Facebook reported that the attackers had access to the accounts of 50 million users, which means they're locked in user accounts. According to Facebook, fewer have been affected than they thought - 30 million.

Facebook has confirmed that in the coming days it will send messages to 30 million affected users and post information to its aid center.
