Facebook now says its password leak affected ‘millions’ of Instagram users - TChttps://t.co/0YT5FdOlNd
Incredible: While the Muller report was being released, Facebook updates an old press post titled “Keeping Passwords Secure” with the new disclosure that millions of Instagram account passwords were internally stored in readable plaintext. https://t.co/BiDfq1G8N3

Hang on: How do you unintentionally add code that asks for an email password, unintentionally add code that logs on and scans the user's contacts, unintentionally rolls that up to prod and unintentionally uploads all that data? ? https://t.co/MR430EyoZV

I concur that this is one of the most legally actionable behaviors by @facebook to date. I'm confident regulators will be taking a look.

Whether it will be included as part of the pending #cambridgeanalytica settlement or started as a new investigation is the question https://t.co/PhuryyroE3
Someone designed that UI. Someone else approved the wording of the request it was making. Someone else had to *test that the data was successfully translated into their system for their use*. Likely many people at all stages. No part of this can have been “unintentional”. https://t.co/b1FBFKX60V
— Dan Curtis Johnson (@dcurtisj) April 18, 2019
If true, this is insane. Password harvesting isn’t something you can “unintentionally” do at scale — roadmap, code, code review, deployment, use of the contacts data, and no one stopped this? https://t.co/DtPPq97X04

“Unintentionally uploaded”. These things will keep happening as long as there is no accountability. https://t.co/nGj8Yl3WJI
— zeynep tufekci (@zeynep) April 18, 2019
It's worth noting that while 1.5 million users' contact books were *directly* harvested, the total number of people whose contact details were obtained may well be in the dozens/hundreds of millions, as people often have hundreds of contacts. https://t.co/s9D0GAOZyw

The planned notification scheme here is completely inappropriate. All users whose email hase been uploaded by another user should be notified. https://t.co/AeqYi1T40v

Earlier this month, news broke that Facebook was asking users to provide their email passwords when they signed up. Turns out it was then using them to grab users’ contact books — without asking permission first. https://t.co/s9D0GAOZyw

— Rob Price (@robaeprice) April 18, 2019
Remember how FB stored tens of millions of user passwords unencrypted on their servers? They just updated the blog to say that "millions of Instagram users" also had their passwords stored unencrypted. They originally said "tens of thousands of IG users" https://t.co/4Vw3sI0U0m
— Kurt Wagner (@KurtWagner8) April 18, 2019
I'm curious to see some actual numbers. Are we talking low millions, or LinkedIn/Yahoo (hundreds of millions)? These quiet low key releases might be announcing historic numbers and we wouldn't know https://t.co/KuflcfThAe

How do you unintentionally write & ship code that asks users for their email password, scans their address book then uploads their contacts to your server without asking permission?

LATER: That Stamos guy: "People just don't understand how hard this stuff is."
Just throwing this out there... but I’ve been a programmer since 1998... and I’ve never seen code accidentally harvest user data. It usually locks up and crashes when I make a mistake. Instead of say uploading my address book to Facebook.
