security breach involving 50 million facebook users. to deal with the issues, facebook has reset the log-on. in a statement mark zuckerberg wrote, we face constant attacks for people who want to take over accounts or steal information from around the world. the reality is we need to continue developing new tools to keep it from happening in the first place. and joining me is the senior editor with cnet with more on today's situation. let's start with the basics. what key information was stolen and for the average facebook user, how worried should i be? >> probably the hard evidence part is we don't know much about it at all. we know as many as 50 million people's accounts were affected and facebook reset access for 90 million people, but that's it. we don't know what information was taken. we don't know what information was accessed. in theory what happened is it
4:17 pm
could allow them to take over your account, they can get your private messages, your photos, all sorts of information. facebook is being very early in the process when they're telling us, which means it's a little messy to learn what's going on. >> would identity theft be a major result? >> there could be. there's so much information we give from photos of our children and what we had for lunch to where we live, what we believe, all sorts of information. so there's a possibility of all sorts of stuff and so there are millions of people involved in this. that information also has value on the dark web and among hackers and it makes sense, but facebook doesn't know. >> this may be difficult to judge, but is facebook deficient in security or is this now the new normal when we're talking about these gigantic tech companies where they're under constant attacks. some of this could be state sponsored so you have the best engineers name your country

versus the private i.t. guys that facebook employs, and it's a battle every day. >> it is. it's something that mark zuckerberg said to reporters. this is an arms race. i'm not going to ascribe to whether facebook was negligent. there are a ton of people using it. more than half the world's online population. so any percentage of them is affected, it's a massive number of people. i think what we're going to learn is that being on the internet today as a dpaep means that there are hackers everywhere. they're getting betzer all the time, and they're coming from all sorts of different countries sponsoring them and encouraging them. so it's very hard to keep us all protected unfortunately. it doesn't mean it's okay. it means it's the reality of today. >> there have been a number of issues with facebook over the last couple of years. at what point do people say i'm
4:19 pm
out. there's no rival to take advantage of it. in lieu of this is that the way it's going be, facebook continues to dominate or is somebody going to arrive? >> there's a lot of frustration. part of it is transparency where they didn't tell us about the cambridge analytica scandal for years, but i think it's important. the fact that they're telling us early and including us is going to be involved or give them a pass because they're human beings, they screw up, and hackers got it. >> it's just the way it plays out. >> all right. thank you for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> ama? >> thanks, guys. tesla dropped yesterday.
