It's not about how easy it is to change my password (though you have to realize that people often reuse passwords across dozens of sites). It's the principle of making such a fundamental mistake when dealing with sensitive customer information. Same username Same Password Person who has that information knows what sites you use that username and password on. Very unlikely. 2. Yes, it is irresponsible, but the level of encryption that most databases use is weak, so anyone can get you info anyway. | ||

Having security holes in their databasing is one thing, an amateur error that is rather embarrasing but understandable. The sheer incompetence shown by a site as professional as Gom by not even hashing their passwords is mindblowing. This is the sort of thing that often merits immediately sacking all responsible and writing a long-winded apology letter on their front page. | ||
