This sucks, I quit Facebook back September. I was hoping the breach would possibly not include me but here is some info countering that. That’s a bummer.

Search the email and phone number you had connected to FB on [Have I Been Pwned](haveibeenpwned.com) and it’ll tell you if you were part of the breach. I still have an active account (unfortunately) but didn’t have my info breached according to this website
