Researchers at the University of Cambridge uploaded user data from 3 million Facebook users onto a poorly protected website that contains millions of Facebook users answers to a personality trait test. Researchers collected user information with consent through a personality app and then later they made it available to access for other researchers through a Poorly designed web portal. The publicly available username and password were sitting on the code-sharing website GitHub. They had been passed from a university lecturer to some students for a course project on creating a tool for processing Facebook data.”]
