Latest privacy fiasco for Facebook, which says passwords were not improperly accessed or abused
Facebook 的最新隱私慘敗，這表示密碼沒有不正確訪問或濫用
Facebook Inc. said Thursday that a security incident that exposed Instagram passwords internally was significantly worse than first thought.
臉書公司週四表示，在內部暴露 Instagram 密碼的安全事件比第一次想到的要糟糕得多。
After announcing in March (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/millions-of-facebook-instagram-passwords-exposed-internally-company-says-2019-03-21)that a security review had found that "tens of thousands" of Instagram users' passwords had been wrongly stored in plain text, Pedro Canahuati, Facebook's vice president of engineering, security and privacy, said Thursday that the issue is now estimated to have affected "millions" of Instagram users.
在 3 月份宣布（http://www.marketwatch.com/story/millions-of-facebook-instagram-passwords-exposed-internally-company-says-2019-03-21)that 安全審查發現，「成千上萬」的 Instagram 用戶密碼被錯誤地以純文本形式存儲，Facebook 的工程，安全和隱私副總裁佩德羅·卡納瓦蒂（Pedro Canahuati）週四表示，該問題現在估計已經影響了「數百萬」Instagram 用戶。
"We will be notifying these users as we did the others," Canahuati wrote Thursday in a blog post (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/03/keeping-passwords-secure/). "Our investigation has determined that these stored passwords were not internally abused or improperly accessed."
「我們將像其他用戶一樣通知這些用戶，」卡納瓦蒂週四在博客文章中寫道（https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/03/keeping-passwords-secure/）。「我們的調查確定這些存儲的密碼沒有在內部濫用或不當訪問。」
Typically, Facebook and Instagram passwords are masked on the company's internal servers so that not even Facebook employees can see them. In March, Facebook said the exposed passwords had been stored in logs accessible to some internal engineers and developers, and that the issue had been fixed.
通常，Facebook 和 Instagram 密碼會被屏蔽在公司的內部服務器上，因此即使是 Facebook 員工也看不到它們。今年 3 月，Facebook 表示，暴露的密碼已存儲在一些內部工程師和開發人員可訪問的日誌中，並且該問題已得到解決。
Facebook (FB) did not specify Thursday how many millions of Instagram users were affected, and said the additional information was discovered "only recently."
Facebook（FB）沒有指定週四有多少數百萬的 Instagram 用戶受到了影響，並表示附加信息被發現「只是最近才發現」。
The updated information was added to a month-old blog post Thursday morning, shortly before the Mueller report was made public in Washington, leading some (https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1118928882734776320)on (https://twitter.com/gcluley/status/1118963331107303424)social (https://twitter.com/igor_os777/status/1118944796968534016)media (https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1118940828381122563)to speculate (v)that Facebook was trying to play down the news.
更新後的信息被添加到一個月前的博客文章週四早上，穆勒報告在華盛頓公佈之前不久，導致一些人（https://twitter.com/MikeIsaac/status/1118928882734776320)on（https://twitter.com/gcluley/status/1118963331107303424)social（（包）（包括推測（v）Facebook 正試圖播放這個消息。https://twitter.com/igor_os777/status/1118944796968534016)media https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1118940828381122563)to
"This is an issue that has already been widely reported, but we want to be clear that we simply learned there were more passwords stored in this way. There is no evidence of abuse or misuse of these passwords," a Facebook spokesperson said via email.
「這是一個已經被廣泛報導的問題，但是我們想要清楚的是，我們只是了解到以這種方式存儲了更多密碼。沒有證據表明濫用或濫用這些密碼，」Facebook 發言人通過電子郵件說。
In the original March announcement, Facebook said the password issue also affected "hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users," and "tens of millions of other Facebook users," and that those users, too, would be notified of the incident.
在最初的 3 月份公告中，Facebook 表示，密碼問題還影響了「數億 Facebook Lite 用戶」和「其他數千萬 Facebook 用戶」，並且這些用戶也將收到此事件的通知。
The password issue is the latest in a series of privacy-related incidents that have plagued Facebook in the past few years, most notably the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, in which personal data from 87 million users was used without their consent. On Wednesday, Reuters reported Facebook (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-unintentionally-uploaded-email-contacts-of-15-million-users-report-2019-04-18) had "unintentionally uploaded" email contacts of 1.5 million new users since March 2016.
密碼問題是過去幾年困擾 Facebook 的一系列與隱私相關的事件中的最新事件，最值得注意的是劍橋分析（Cambridge Analytica）數據醜聞，其中來自 8700 萬用戶的個人數據在未經他們同意的情況下使用了來自 8700 萬用戶的個人數據。路透社週三報導，自 2016 年 3 月以來，Facebook（http://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-unintentionally-uploaded-email-contacts-of-15-million-users-report-2019-04-18）已「無意中上傳」了 150 萬新用戶的電子郵件聯繫人。
Facebook shares, though, have been nearly impervious to bad news in recent months -- they rose slightly Thursday and are up 36% year to date, compared with the S&P 500's 16% gain this year.
儘管如此，Facebook 的股票近幾個月來幾乎不受壞消息影響-他們週四略微上漲，迄今為止上漲了 36％，而標普 500 的 16％ 收益與今年標普 500 的 16％ 相比。
