According to The Verge (13 October 2026, US time; 14 October, 5:59 am Perth), citing SecurityWeek, Meta says its GitHub was hacked, exposing the personal data of 1,500 people.

The Verge reports, citing SecurityWeek, that Meta says "99% of the data the hackers took was business data, in the form of software code related to some of its products. The remaining 1% was personal data," some of which was "synthetic or anonymized", and that most of that personal data reportedly belonged to Meta employees in the US.

No Australian impact has been stated. Primary: The Verge, citing SecurityWeek.
