Are you asking for a representation of the specific line or lines of code, of the multiple millions of lines of code that make up FB code base? If so, I don’t have that, and it’s not the kind of information any company has ever released after a breach. But do correct me if I’m wrong? I’m also not sure how helpful that would be, but grateful for insight there.

That said-Facebook knows that our platform is one of the most attractive platforms in the known world for virtually every bad actor in the world. So we have multiple teams constantly assessing vulnerabilities, running scenarios, doing everything possible to harden us as a target. And to the second question, the teams have to try to anticipate and foresee any and every possible risk. 

Hey Ebele,

What specific code that was breached had the vulnerability on the platform, and just how difficult was this breach to be foreseen and forestalled..?
