A while back, Facebook disclosed that thousands of Instagram users’ usernames and passwords were stored in plain text on Facebook servers and exposed to thousands of employees. Last week, coincidentally the same day as the release of the Mueller Report, Facebook updated the post and admitted the problem was more significant than they initially thought. (Kudos to TechCrunch for catching the update.) With this latest update, Facebook states the security lapse affected “millions” of users.

I know these posts are starting to sound like a broken record, but I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you manage your own passwords. You have to be extra vigilant because the people you trust on those websites are not necessarily worthy of that trust.

Get yourself a good password manager. (My favorite continues to be Mac Power Users’ sponsor 1Password.) Change your most important passwords frequently. Be careful out there.
