LESTER HOLT, anchor:
Finally tonight, how would you like your family to live inside a landmark? Several of these beautiful pieces of America’s past are up for sale. They have the ultimate waterside views, lots of privacy, and a history unto themselves. And one can be yours if the price is right. Here’s Kevin Tibbles.
KEVIN TIBBLES, reporting:
Modern-day explorers of sorts, zipping towards Lake Erie, courtesy of the U.S. Coast Guard. So, is that it over there?
MAN #1: That’s it right off the bow there, sir.
TIBBLES: And on the horizon, the prize. These folks are bidding on a chance to own their very own lighthouse.
CHRISTINE MARQUARDT: This is my own fantasy island.
HERMAN MARQUARDT: This is cool.
TIBBLES: Christine and Herman Marquardt are all in.
C. MARQUARDT: I called him up, and I said, “Honey, how about we buy a lighthouse?”
TIBBLES: Built in 1885, this decommissioned old lantern is one of four the U.S. Government is auctioning in Michigan this year. And while it used to have a keeper, this one could certainly use some TLC.
WOMAN: We’re just hoping someone has an opportunity to find it and preserve it.
TIBBLES: So, what are you doing here?
DARRELL JAMISON: It looks like a must-have, Kevin.
TIBBLES: Yeah. For years, Darrell Jamison has looked longingly from his home onshore.
JAMISON: I’ve been looking at it for 15 years.
TIBBLES: And now you want it.
JAMISON: Now I want it.
TIBBLES: The added bonus when you get one of these, no noisy neighbors. Except for the fog horn, every 26 seconds. In Fall River, Massachusetts, Nick Korstad turned the lighthouse he bought into a bed-and-breakfast.
NICK KORSTAD: You can never go to college and learn what you learn here at this lighthouse.
TIBBLES: For those hardy souls--
C. MARQUARDT: We found the basement.
TIBBLES: --navigating all the repairs to own a piece of history, here in Michigan or Massachusetts. Kevin Tibbles, NBC News, on Lake Erie.

Facebook Reveals Security Breach Affects Up to 50 Million Accounts
LESTER HOLT, anchor:
There's a lot of other news we're covering. We want to talk about the surprise word now from Facebook of another major breach, this time an attack hitting up to 50 million people. NBC's Jo Ling Kent has late details on what everyone with a Facebook account needs to know.
JO LING KENT, reporting:
Facebook under siege again revealing that nearly 50 million users were attacked.
MARK ZUCKERBERG: The attackers did try to query our APIs--Access, Profile, Information fields, like name, gender, hometown, et cetera, but we do not yet know if any private information was accessed that way.
KENT: Although passwords and credit card information weren't affected, Facebook says it logged out 90 million users today as a precaution. Meaning if you went to Facebook, you got this. If your account was affected, you get this security update at the top of your newsfeed. CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he doesn't know who conducted the attack or where it came from. Facebook is now working with the FBI to investigate.
ZUCKERBERG: It's an arms race and we're continuing to improve our defenses and I think that this also underscores that there are just constant attacks.
KENT: Attacks it's not clear Facebook is equipped to defend against. Jo Ling Kent, NBC News, Los Angeles.

Equifax, Personal Data for Millions of Americans Potentially Exposed
LESTER HOLT, anchor:
And we’re going to have much more on the story ahead, but now we want to turn to a major consumer alert. A massive security breach revealed today by one of the three big credit reporting bureaus, Equifax. Hackers stole personal information, including Social Security numbers, on some 143 million Americans. And tonight NBC News has learned the FBI is investigating. Tom Costello now with late details.
TOM COSTELLO, reporting:
The hack could go down as among the biggest ever involving nearly half the U.S. population. Credit reporting agency Equifax says the data breach involved the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birth dates and even driver’s license information for 143 million people. In addition roughly 209,000 credit-card numbers were stolen. The breach occurred between mid-May and mid-July and was discovered on July 29th, although we’re just hearing about it now. Late today Equifax released a video statement.
RICK SMITH: I deeply regret this incident. And I apologize to every affected consumer and all of our partners.
COSTELLO: Equifax is one of the three big credit reporting agencies. Ironically it’s where people go when they fear they’ve been hacked. The agency says its credit-reporting database wasn’t affected, but it says criminals managed to exploit a vulnerability on a U.S. website application.
ADITI ROY: The sheer number of people who could be potentially affected is what’s so striking about this particular attack. I mean, this is like Hurricane Irma-size proportions affecting U.S. customers.
COSTELLO: Tonight, Equifax says it’s taking the unprecedented step of offering free ID theft protection and credit monitoring to every U.S. consumer in the country at no cost for one year.
