Instagram is notifying users affected by the accidental exposure of plaintext passwords via its Download Your Data tool. For a short period of time, users logged in to the tool could see their password in the page’s URL. The password was only exposed to the user but was stored on Facebook’s servers. The tool was developed amid privacy concerns following Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal and the rollout of General Data Privacy Regulation in Europe. Instagram has fixed the bug and has deleted saved passwords from the tool.”]
