"Currently, we don't know if Facebook has fixed the vulnerability since the company hasn't released any statement regarding the breach."

"This is old data that was previously reported on in 2019. We found and fixed this issue in August 2019" - FB

The data might be from an old breach, but the data are also unlikely to change very often, so is more than likely current for a large proportion of those who have been exposed (phone number, date of birth, full name, etc).
That is a dishonest statement, as a lot of data is recent, and they know that and are almost pretending like it is some kind of feature.
It seems like the creators are heading towards a libel lawsuit if they keep that up on their site.
I don't understand libel laws very well. If it's based on that quote, could you explain a bit why that would be?
