*Yet another reason to engage your brain & store NOTHING on the Internet.*

From two to six hundred million username/passwords were stored in the clear
o (no hash, no salt, no nothing).
o All in plain vanilla text files since 2012!

Facebook says nobody "improperly" accessed the files, even as there were
apparently over 9 million internal queries by over 2,000 Facebook engineers
on the data (according to blogger Brian Krebs).

Apparently the security gaff affects

o Facebook lite users
o Instagram users
etc.

Bear in mind GitHub did the same thing recently:
o GitHub says bug exposed some plaintext passwords
