Facebook continues with its gaffes over user passwords. It’s now clear, on FB’s admission, that not “hundreds of millions” but “millions” of Instagram users’ passwords were accidentally stored unencrypted on Facebook’s servers. Which means anyone in FB team had open access to them.
Facebook first announced late last month that it had stored hundreds of millions of user passwords unencrypted on its servers, a massive security problem. At the time, it said that “tens of thousands” of Instagram passwords were also stored in this way.
On Thursday morning, Facebook updated its blog to say that, actually, “millions” of Instagram users, not “tens of thousands,” were impacted.
