The highly recognized social network unvieled it in a blog post that during a sequence of actions review in January it had found lots of flaws in its internal data storage systems, they also said they have fixed all issues they faced during that time.

"This caught our attention because our login system are designed to to mask users password using techniques that make them unreadable, " Vice-President of Engineering, Security and Privacy, Pedro Canahuati said.

Mr Canahuati mentioned this in a blog post published shortly after Cyber Security Jounalist Brian Krebs first reported to the incident, also citing a Facebook source who said that the passwords of accounts between 200million to 600million users may have been searchable by more than 20,000 Facebook employees. Mr Krebs also claimed that some of the users password were available since 2012 which is quite suprising.
