    Facebook is embroiled in another privacy scandal, although this time it's not of the company's direct making. UpGuard researchers have discovered over 540 million Facebook interaction records left exposed by third parties using Amazon's cloud services. Nearly all of them come from Mexican media company Cultura Colectiva, which recorded account names, comments, Facebook IDs and likes, among other details. Another exposure comes from At the Pool, a long-defunct app that left 22,000 passwords unprotected in addition to other sensitive details.
