In this case there might not be a GDPR violation. If the data is taken by compromised browsers, then the breach wouldn't exist within Facebook's control.
It's not clear to me from reading the GDPR whether companies are responsible for the loss of personal data outside of breaches in their security. E.g. is a successful phishing campaign against customers a data breach? If not at fault, do they have an obligation to alert customers specifically about the attack?
