### Comment:
First sentence:  
  
 &gt; As part of a routine security review in January, we found that some user  passwords were being stored in a readable format within our internal  data storage systems.  
  
 'Some' users equals: 
  
 &gt; We estimate that we will notify hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite  users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands  of Instagram users.

### REPLY:
Readable format != Plaintext though.

 This is not a data leak, just a security audit found a portion of data wasn't using the proprietary system.
