Facebook Inc. (FB) on Thursday updated a blog post from March, which said the company discovered some user passwords were being stored in a readable format on some of the company's internal systems, to say the issue affected millions of Instagram passwords.

The original announcement, made in a March 21 blog post, said the matter came to the company's attention because its systems are designed to make passwords unreadable. Facebook said it fixed the issue, adding the passwords were never visible to outsiders and that the company was working to notify anyone whose password was found in this situation.

The update Thursday said the company discovered additional Instagram passwords that were stored in a readable format, impacting millions of that platform's users.

Facebook said this newly found group of passwords wasn't improperly accessed or internally abused, and that it would notify affected users.
