"The security lapse was first reported last month, but at the time, Facebook said it only happened to “tens of thousands of Instagram users,” whereas the number is now being revised up to “millions.” The issue also affected “hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users” and “tens of millions of other Facebook users.”"

I wonder how much of this is the responsibility on how Instagram was built. Like Instagram may have been built so fast that those things never were accounted for.

Not that I'm giving Facebook excuses, but maybe something was overlooked before acquisition. Then again, Facebook is breaching security protocols left and right.
