Facebook said that the problem "would also affect its "Facebook Login" service, which allows other apps to use people's Facebook account to login."
"What about apps that use Facebook login?
Guy Rosen (Facebook's VP/Product Management), said on a conference call that hackers would also have access to any app that was linked to your account as well."

Facebook has said that any app login links should be unlinked and then relinked.
"50 million Facebook accounts have been hacked and victims could also have had accounts on thousands of other services compromised."
-Guy Rosen Facebook VP/Product Management
Yet the Facebook director of cybersecurity policy, Nathaniel Gleiche said in a press conference, "We're talking about 90 million user accounts here."
Typical of these events, the number of people affected usually grows as time goes by.
"Our investigation is still very early, so we don't yet know exactly the scope of the misuse and how and if accounts were actually misused." -Facebook Guy Rosen
September 16 2018 was the date Facebook claims they knew of the breach, September 25 2018 was the public announcement, yet July 2017 was when they think the actual hack took place, over a year the hackers had access before it was discovered.
