[Discuss] Ubuntu forums hacked; 1.82M logins, email addresses stolen

[richb at pioneer.ci.net (Rich Braun)]

Passwords were stored clear-text?!?!?  On a core software-tools site?  Say it
ain't true!

But of course, I remember how long it took me to convince the dev team at my
past employer Manhunt.net to migrate to hashed-passwords.  After a year and a
half, they finally took the advice (motivated, fortunately, by an unrelated
major release rather than a data breach)...

The world moves forward, slowly, in fits & starts...
