No identity theft protection for latest Facebook hack victims

Facebook will not provide fraud protection for victims of its latest data breach, details of which were announced in a Friday news dump. It set up a page where you can check if your Facebook account was breached.
One analyst told the BBC the decision was 'unconscionable'... For the most severely impacted users - a group of around 14 million, Facebook said - the stolen data included 'username, gender, locale/language, relationship status, religion, hometown, self-reported current city, birthdate, device types used to access Facebook, education, work, the last 10 places they checked into or were tagged in, website, people or pages they follow, and the 15 most recent searches'.
Typically, companies affected by large data breaches - such as Target, in 2013 - provide access to credit protection agencies and other methods to lower the risk of identity theft. Other hacked companies, such as on the Playstation Network, and credit monitoring agency Equifax, offered similar solutions.
A Facebook spokeswoman told the BBC it would not be taking this step 'at this time'. Users would instead be directed to the website's help section.
They're done caring. If you're still using Facebook, you're done caring too.
