Wow. Just wow. Were they at least unique 6-character passwords per user? Even so, how long would that take to crack on a beefy desktop with 4 GPUs? ... a few days at most? I'd say the same thing as you: what the point of spending all those CPU cycles if the data is effectively not encrypted?! _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
