The latest: Facebook is not ruling out smaller-scale infractions
The latest in Facebook Security violation (all local times):
1:50 p.m.
Facebook says it has managed to control a security breach that affects almost 30 million accounts, but has not ruled out the possibility of making efforts on a smaller scale to exploit the same vulnerability.
Facebook is offering a website for people to check if their accounts have been accessed and, if so, what information was stolen. It will also provide guidance on how to detect and treat suspicious emails or text messages. Facebook will also send messages directly to those people.
Facebook says that it has already solved the vulnerability, which is derived from three different errors in the Facebook code.
On Friday, Facebook set the number of accounts it accessed at 29 million, less than the 50 million that it initially believed were affected when it revealed the breach two weeks ago.

1:10 p.m.
Facebook says the FBI is investigating a major breach of the security of its service, but the company says authorities asked it not to discuss who might be behind the attack.
That suggests that Facebook may know or suspect who is behind the violation. When Facebook revealed the breach two weeks ago, company officials said they did not know who was behind the attacks or where they might be based.
Facebook is revealing for the first time that hackers accessed data from 29 million accounts as part of the violation. The exact number had not been known before. Originally, Facebook said that 50 million accounts could have been affected, but Facebook did not know if they had been misused.
Facebook says that third-party applications and Facebook applications like WhatsApp and Instagram are not affected.

Facebook says hackers accessed data from 29 million accounts as part of the security breach revealed two weeks ago.
The exact number had not been known before. Originally, Facebook said that 50 million accounts could have been affected, but Facebook did not know if they had been misused.
The hackers accessed the name, email addresses or phone numbers of those 29 million accounts. For 14 million of those accounts, hackers got even more data, such as hometown, date of birth, the last 10 places they entered or the 15 most recent searches. A million accounts were affected but the hackers did not obtain information. The social networking service plans to send messages to people whose accounts were hacked.
Facebook says that third-party applications and Facebook applications like WhatsApp and Instagram were not affected by the breach.
