Facebook discovered nearly 30 million of their users’ information was stolen rather than the 50 million they initially suspected from the hack last month.
Also, Facebook purged 800 U.S. accounts and political pages that sent out political spam.

Jay Mcfarland hosts the JayMac News Show as well as the fictional podcast, Hosts of Eden. KSL Newsradio is part of Bonneville Media and based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Don’t forget to review and subscribe to the JayMac Mac News Show podcast on Apple Podcasts. Or follow Jay on Twitter and Instagram or on Facebook.

We want to hear from you.
