Steep decline in technology companies' stocks has led major indexes in the U.S. stock market to lower close on Monday.
Facebook shares closed the day with 6.8 percent loss after the social media giant was rattled by reports that information of more than 50 million of its users leaked without permission.
Rise in privacy concerns caused other tech firms lose stock value as well. Apple shares fell 1.5 percent, while Google parent company Alphabet stock price was down 3 percent at the final bell.
The Dow Jones fell 335 points, or 1.35 percent, to finish the day at 24,610 points. The S&P 500 lost 39 points, or 1.4 percent, to 2,712 points.
The Nasdaq decreased 137 points, or 1.8 percent, to close the first trading day of the week at 7,344 points.
