If you have a Facebook account, now would be a good time to check on it. The social media giant announced Friday that a Facebook hack last month compromised about 30 million users’ names, phone numbers, emails and other personal details.

According to a company blog post, attackers found a vulnerability in the code and used Facebook’s “View As” feature to steal access tokens designed to allow people to stay logged in. The Facebook hack eventually exposed the names and contact information for 15 million users.

But it gets worse.

The hackers also accessed nearly everything 14 million users had on their profiles. That may include “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,” according to Facebook.



Sears is considering filing for bankruptcy protection as soon as this week as it faces a large debt repayment on Monday, reports The Wall Street Journal. Shares of Sears Holdings Corp. plunged as much as 31 percent in pre-market trading.

The company has hired advisory firm M-III Partners LLC to prepare the bankruptcy filing, although the retailer is continuing to consider other options to avoid insolvency, the report said. Sears is facing a debt repayment of $134 million on Monday, although one option would be for its CEO, the billionaire investor Edward Lampert, to make the payment and rescue the company from bankruptcy, the Journal noted.

Shares of Sears tumbled 18 cents, or 31 percent, to 40 cents in trading before the market opened. The stock had been trading as high as $43 a share as recently as 2015.

Sears, an icon of American retailing since the 19th century, has struggled to appeal to consumers in recent years, losing customers and financial strength in the process. Analysts have predicted the company would face a "liquidity event" for several years given its deteriorating financial state. Shoppers told a survey firm in 2016 that they preferred shopping at Goodwill over Sears. A couple tried to kill their border collie, Scout, with a BB gun because they could no longer afford him, police said.

Keith Ropp, 26, of the Flanders section of Mount Olive and his girlfriend, Carly McBride, 24, of Long Valley walked Scout, 10, into a wooded area off Drakesdale Road in Mount Olive on Saturday and shot him six times with a BB gun, according to criminal complaints.

When the dog did not die, the duo took him to the Flanders Veterinary Clinic, where Dr. Nicholas Minervini discovered two pellets embedded in the dog through X-rays, according to criminal complaints.
