What the fuck is wrong with these people?!?!
“Officials in Ireland have fined Meta $101 million for storing hundreds of millions of user passwords in plaintext and making them broadly available to company employees”
“Meta disclosed the lapse in early 2019.”
No. This isn’t a lapse. Meta has ROUTINELY fucked up security. It’s not like security isn’t hard, it’s just THEY DON’T CARE.
This is level 101 — DO NOT STORE SENSITIVE DATA IN PLAINTEXT.

@feloneouscat holy crap !! There are lots of people complaining that their accounts were hacked and they were never recovered, my boss is one of them , her facebook account was used to create an instagram account, she tried to contact someone on Facebook and she couldn’t talk to a real person, she had to create a new account but what is the damage in the future?
But it’s Apple that has to be controlled because they actually DO security.
Facebook has had DECADES to do it right.
They don’t care. And they influence elections.
@feloneouscat unfortunately you are right.
Security measures with fb - DON'T
- have auto sign-in - the app stores your passwd
- use Fb to sign into other apps
- store payments (credit card info) on Fb
@Bliss @feloneouscat wise advice, I’m not on Facebook but if for some reason I get back ( sometimes I get back for a day or two if I need to contact someone) I will do that .
Thanks!!
@feloneouscat It's quite simple. They make enough money from their illicit actions and substandard security protocols to keep paying the fines.
