Following the release of the 533 million phone numbers (acquired through the 2019 Facebook vulnerability), we wanted to bring awareness to the security & privacy implications of a public worldwide mobile phonebook.

You can check yourself, your family, friends and colleagues and inform them.

Disclaimer: we do not display (or even store) the phone numbers, we only show the last 2 digits so you can confirm it's yours.

Happy to answer related security and privacy questions.

It would be useful to have a search results when names aren't unique. I share my name with a famous author (not a sci-fi author, but somehow he went back in time to steal my name before I was born), but I'm not going to click through all of them to see which one is me.

On the plus side, I'm liking my good choice of having a non-unique name right about now.

Without being able to search by my unique identifier (i.e. my profile is facebook.com/IDENTIFER) because there are more than ten people with my name this tool is useless. Shame.

I've gotten somewhat hit or miss with finding my profile_id via the inspect element in FireFox, and then just appending it onto the end of the url.

However, I'm not sure if it's because my account was created at end of June 2019 that it didn't return anything, or if it didn't work. (it worked when I pulled up a couple of the big name user's id's and compared to the breach.
