[AusNOG] MelbourneIT stores domain passwords in cleartext - iTnews.com.au

[Robert Hudson]

I am constantly amazed by the number of systems that store passwords in
either plain-text or with reversible encryption (which is much of a
muchness with plain-text, really).

This is particularly amazing given the number of high-profile cases where
such database have been compromised...
