Facebook data leak scandal affected 87 million users instead of the previously reported value of 50 million

In another shocking revelation by the social media giant facebook, the Cambridge Analytica scandal affected 87 million users and their personal data instead of previously reported 50 million. The personal data of such a huge number of users were leaked without any prior knowledge of the users after facebook breached their own privacy policy. Severe criticism and outrage all over the world forced facebook to review its privacy policy and make it more flexible. The users will be able to view and control their data which they want facebook to share. But still the question arises that is the 87 million figure true or shall the number will increase again? We also do not have idea that how we are a victim of such a massive data scandal where our personal and sensitive data are involved.
