Facebook 0.06% = 600,000 account logins compromised every day

Red Tape - Facebook says 600,000 account logins compromised every day

Facebook says that "only 0.06 percent of 1 billion logins per day are compromised."

That might sound like an impressive record, but doing the math, that means 600,000 accounts are hacked or otherwise compromised every day. Facebook's 0.06 percent figure seems intentionally precise, so it's probably fair to surmise that potentially 18 million accounts per month are impacted.
