"In many ways, they were designed to hide the deep

"In many ways, they were designed to hide the deep and complex nature of the problem and the scale of the problem", the Times reported.

The Times said that it is unclear how many people who had access to the accounts of Facebook and other companies were affected.

"In some cases, the data collected had been transferred to another provider, but the companies have no records of that," it said.

The Times said that its accounts were not accessed by "any one company or any of the individuals who were affected. They were not even identified by those same names as any of these 'customers' who were targeted". It said it was also unclear how many of the individuals who had a "reasonable suspicion" that people had had access to their accounts had received "privacy checks" that could have prevented the disclosure of their accounts.

"It's unclear what their privacy or security processes were, what they had actually done. They weren't even identified by those same names as any of these 'customers' who were targeted," it said.

The article also said that the companies said that they had been contacted by "some of those who claimed to have had their information stolen" and that they had already "worked with the law's privacy officers to ensure that they were complying with the law".
