'Hundreds of millions' of user passwords exposed within Facebook | TheHill
Facebook announced on Thursday that "hundreds of millions" of users' passwords had been stored in unprotected plain text accessible by the company's employees.
In a blog post titled, "Keeping Passwords Secure," the social media giant said it had found no reason to believe the trove of passwords had been abused by its workers or accessed by anyone outside the company.
===========================================
So trusting, aren't they?
This is one of the reasons why I don't have a smartphone, don't text & don't participate in social media. Our personal privacy is constantly being eroded anyway, why help it along?
