Yet again, there has been another Facebook data breach. This time private information was shared internally to thousands of Facebook employees. This comes just a few months after Facebooks last date breach that exposed the private information of tens of millions of users.
As often as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it seems that private information is being shared with the public. Today, the latest privacy breach is brought to you by Facebook. Pedro Canahuati, Vice President of Engineering, Security and Privacy at Facebook, announced that during a routine security check in January, the team discovered that “some user passwords were being stored in a readable format” and were able to be seen by around 20,000 Facebook employees. In this case, “some user passwords” meant that the Facebook data breach affected around 600,000 users.
