PETALING JAYA: The public have been urged to change their Facebook and Instagram passwords, if they have received notifications to do so, says the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

The commission came out with a statement yesterday after Facebook acknowledged on Thursday that it left hundreds of millions of user passwords readable by its emplo­yees for years.
