Mark Zuckerberg's own data was taken from Facebook, he says

Mark Zuckerberg's own personal data was taken as part of Facebook's data abuse scandal, he has said. He made the confession during Congress hearings, where US lawmakers quizzed the Facebook boss on how it was responding to claims it had unethically abused data about its users. The admission means that organisations may have access to data about Mr Zuckerberg that wouldn't usually be available to the public. Developers were able to access information like a users' friends and other personal information – a decision that has been criticised, and which Facebook has taken efforts to now stop. Mr Zuckerberg didn't say exactly what third-party app had stolen his data.
