do you do the same aggressively (with dns blocking) on mobile and ensure no one has your number also?

there is also a plugin that automagically containerizes facebook, called Facebook Container, using Firefoxes built in containers.

From the description, seems only useful for people who log into facebook.com, which as previously mentioned, I have never done

the facebook container on firefox keeps any website trying to load FB or any of their websites isolated as well. you don't need to have logged in before to keep FB tracking you.

There's also Firefox's "first-party isolation" feature which effectively puts every domain in its own cookie/cache container. It's fairly effective all by itself at keeping evil advertisers from tracking you all across the web, though of course it's not a magic bullet. And it also breaks cross-domain things that you might actually want, like SSO.

It's a setting in about :config, just set "privacy.firstparty.isolate" to true and you're all set.

Oh I can actually contribute. I use Firefox multi account containers, you can make color coded tabs that isolate different sessions in the same browser. You can set it up to prompt you or force you to open certain domains in certain containers too. If you need to use google sso for any other site you can just open it in your google container and with a couple extra clicks get the same functionality as if you were doing everything on one session

The phone number search turns up mine in the Facebook leak. Yay. Now on to trying to remember why the hell I put it in there to begin with. Probably 2FA. So much for that.

Yeah, I wonder how many people think they are protected by 2fa but forgot that FB requires a phone number for sms failover to enable 2fa at all

Yeah, the irony is this leak probably most punishes people who went out of their way to try and make their accounts more secure. I ran my family's numbers who wouldn't care about that at all and naturally came up clean.

They don't though? I have 2fa enabled and Facebook has never had my phone number. Under my profile I don't have a backup method enabled.

Make sure you put in your whole phone number, including the 1 prefix, if you're hunting through pwned. Mine showed clean until I did 1XXXYYYZZZZ. I only tried again because I know for a fact I am in the dump.

Same. At least most of the major US telecoms said they recently changed their SMS routing policies to cut off that whole "lol for $5 I can redirect anyone's SMS straight to me" thing.

I mean, at worst most people's phone numbers are already widely available on resumes, etc. As far as credentials go, its just another damning reason to solve issues with SIM spoofing and phone 2FA

Yeah, that just happened recently. So hopefully if that resolves the issue, oh no, they got people's phone numbers so they can start vishing them.

You can disable phone number failover after setting up 2FA

Yeah, I think for most people in the US this'll just mean that if you weren't getting a ton of robo calls about extended car warranties before, you will now. It'll be a bigger issue in other countries where SIM spoofing is a much, much bigger issue.

they shouldn't require it in the first place, and do you think that means your number isn't associated with the account?
