FACEBOOK     has apparently admitted to the fact that they’ve secretly kept an unsecured database in the writeable format of unprotected passwords from their site.  In an interview and a blog post on their own site, Facebook copped to the previously reported security breach amid concerns that FB is once again recklessly handling private information.

SEE the post from Kreb Security that revealed the massive password breach. 

Facebook has now claimed that they have found no further issues, however, couldn’t explain who thought it was a good idea to do this.

“In the course of our review, we have been looking at the ways we store certain other categories of information — like access tokens — and have fixed problems as we’ve discovered them,” the company said. “There is nothing more important to us than protecting people’s information, and we will continue making improvements as part of our ongoing security efforts at Facebook.”

Krebs estimates that between 200 and 600 million Facebook consumers are or have been hit.    The company is expected to notify those users.
