Facebook revealed today that hackers were able to harvest millions of phone numbers and email addresses.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/12/facebook-security-breach-details.html

"Among the 30 million affected users, 14 million had their names, contact information and sensitive information, such as their gender, relationship status and recent place check-ins, exposed to the attackers, Facebook said. Another 15 million users had their names and contact information breached, and 1 million users solely had their access tokens stolen. Facebook has reset the access tokens for all of those users.

The company said the breach is under investigation by the FBI, which asked Facebook "not to discuss who may be behind this attack."

Why do you think this is?

Usual behavior in these sorts of situations isnt to come out and expose anyone (or at least, who you think may have commited the crime) this close to the actual investigation. They're probably still trying to find the suspects that they have in mind, and releasing the information that they have may compromise exactly what they're trying to do right now.

Give it some time, it'll come out soon bud!

This is standard operating procedure during any active investigation.

And you really do not want a fans club to form for these people. And yes, it happens.
