Monday morning brings Facebook users the answers many were waiting for. The social media company will start posting notifications on News Feeds if account data was stolen and used by Cambridge Analytica.
Mashable reported that an alert would appear after 7 a.m. Monday on the accounts affected by the data breach.

You will be able to disconnect any apps you no longer want to allow access to your Facebook account, CNBC reported.
