Instagram Exposes User Passwords
Return To ArticleInstagram has recently patched a security issue in its website that might have accidentally exposed some of its users’ passwords in plain text.
The company recently started notifying affected users of a security bug that resides in a newly offered feature called “Download Your Data” that allows users to download a copy of their data shared on the social media platform, including photos, comments, posts, and other information that they have shared on the platform.
To prevent unauthorized users from getting their hands on your personal data, the feature asks you to reconfirm your password before downloading the data.
