Default Re: Recent Hackings and Neteller Downsizing

When you forget your password, they resend you it in plaintext. It isn't stored hashed. This is criminally stupid. It's fair to assume that anyone at Neteller can read it, along with anyone else interested enough.

This all became clear to me at some point maybe a year ago when I could not log in to my account no matter what I did. My password was in the form of mixed alphanumeric and numbers, all lower case. I did the password send feature and behold, somehow my password had changed to mixed alphanumeric and numbers ALL UPPER CASE.

Same password. Just different alpha case. Something I never do anywhere. Not a change I made. WtF?

It's kind of funny what a huge business folks built out of such vacuousness. Success in spite of themselves I guess. Well, until recently anyways..
