Horrible, but not surprising. As a first approximation, nearly 100% of corporate executives wouldn't see the problem with storing passwords in cleartext. To them, the T-Mobile rep's arguments would seem reasonable: "I really do not get why this is a problem. You have so many passwords for every app, for every mail-account and so on. We secure all data very carefully, so there is not a thing to fear." If you ever wonder why more corporations don't get hacked every day, it's probably because the vast majority of software developers are decent, honest human beings who have no desire to inflict large-scale damage.
