Facebook Inc. said hackers gained access to nearly 50 million accounts, in what amounts to the largest-ever security breach at the social network at a time when it is trying to regain the trust of its more than 2 billion monthly users. The breach dates to a flaw introduced on the company’s website last summer, the company said Friday. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook didn’t have evidence the attackers had accessed people’s private messages and posts, or posted as those users.
