Why would Facebook lie about the data source? They released this information voluntarily.

It's possible that Facebook has been hacked or the above posters used Facebook connect to login to a third-party service that leaked the email addresses.

i wouldn't call that voluntarily. they have been pressured to be more transparent for quite some time. if it was up to facebook, they would hide these kind of information even more.
