Imagine this, you sign up for www.bobshouseofabortionphotos.com and use your superpassword. Next month, some anti-abortion nutjob hacks into the system and somehow retrieves all the password information because Bob didn't think it was important to have the passwords encrypted because it really slowed down log in on his Dell PowerEdge 110T server in his basement. Now someone not only has a list of IP addresses of those people who access that site, but he has a list of passwords that they use. |
FYI - that's not a real site. Just checked.
...just in case any of your were curious...
