A hacker known as Cr@zy 3xpl0!t published a list of what he calls a “huge amount of Facebook accounts,” exposing a few hundred Spanish speaking social network customers.

“Huge amount of Facebook Account has been hacked!! The result of massive phishing has lead to this huge Hack. Anyways here are the Dumps of Facebook Account,” said the hacker in a Pastebin document.

Fortunately, some of the victims might already be aware of the fact that their accounts were phished since the cybercriminals who ran the operation mentioned that many of the credentials might not work.

“Many of them might not work, as password may have been changed,” he notes.

Since the post contains clear-text passwords, there will be no link to the source, but this is good opportunity to remind everyone to change their Facebook passwords, especially if they suspect falling victim to such a phishing campaign.
