That's a lot of transgender fellas in lulzsec... But then again, can't really expect much from 4chan...

If only TOTSE was still around. :(

1211963 2011-06-28 21:24:00 Yeah there was a tweet about a week ago I seem to remember, with Lulzsec 'welcoming our Brazilian brothers' or something to that effect... Chilling_Silence (9)
1211964 2011-06-28 22:43:00 Ehh about time, but considering the "high-tech security" all those companies have, and the fact they all just got hacked straight away.. Guess it proved something to major corporations about their security :p Empathy. (16382)
1211965 2011-06-28 23:06:00 Well the worst part is apparently the passwords and things have been stored in plaintext. You just don't do that, it's not clever.
Security 101 - Do something like MD5 the users password and then store that value. Hell, you could then add some 'salt' to it, and then MD5 that result again, or SHA, whatever ...
Then when the user authenticates, you take what they've given you, MD5 sum it etc, and then compare that value with the database value. If they match, user entered a correct password. If they don't, user got it wrong.

There is of course the possibility of MD5 collisions, but it's incredibly incredibly rare, so using things like a combination of MD5 + salt + SHA *ought* to overcome that, or at least negate the chances to such an extreme it's not worth worrying about.
