Hackers launched an attack on Facebook’s 200 million users on Thursday, successfully gathering passwords from some of them in the latest campaign to prey on members of the popular social networking site.

He said that Facebook was blocking compromised accounts.

Schnitt declined to say how many accounts had been compromised.
