The point they completely miss in this unbelievable display of incompetence is
that such passwords never should be stored in cleartext in the first place -
in this case a hash of username+password should have been all they needed
and all they needed to store too.
Probably doesn't suprise anybody anyway that this happened.
Horst,
Sounds like someone will have a secret policeman's balls over this.
