💨 Abstract

Social media giant Meta was fined 91 million euros by the European Union's lead privacy regulator for inadvertently storing some users' passwords without protection or encryption, five years ago. The Irish Data Protection Commission stated that the passwords were not shared with external parties. This is the latest in a series of GDPR fines totaling 2.5 billion euros imposed on Meta by the EU regulator.
