????????? Why’d they store it in plain text?
That’s like fining average person 1 € for smuggling drugs worth 10000 €.
….what?!
And this is why they continue to not give a shit…
basic encryption would take them what… 10 minutes to set up ?
$101M is pocket change to Meta.
And one aspires to be working at these companies as they would have best security infrastructure and talent..fuck. Idiocracy in motion
That’s $0.17 per password. WHERE IS MY MONEY?!?!
What? Why would they ever store any password in plain text, ever?
so abc123 not good now?
