I wasn't asking about the hacking. Just the practice of keeping password in plain text.

As said then, no, it's not okay. How did we find out that they were stored in plain text?

If you read the news from the OP, it said not encrypted.

If you read tech news sites that post more technical stuff, such as Ars and Slashdot, they said the entire db of over 1M people are in plain text, including the passwords.

It boggles the mind.

Yes it does. I have assumptions that many companies have the same thing going on. How did these people gain this information?



Hmm, pie.
