Facebook has said it will not provide identity fraud protection for the victims of its latest data breach.
On Friday it revealed 14 million users had highly personal information stolen by hackers. It included search history, location data and information about relationships, religion and more.
However, unlike other major hacks involving big companies, Facebook said it had no plans to provide protection services for concerned users. One analyst told the BBC the decision was "unconscionable".
"This kind of information could help thieves create social engineering-based theft programmes, preying on the Facebook hack victims," said Patrick Moorhead, from Moor Insights and Strategy.
