- fiiv 9y agoNot to beat a dead horse here (ok, fine I will) but this is some basic stuff. If they don't even have this covered, the more advanced solutions are likely way beyond them. Considering that there was a hack at Sony for example that exposed plaintext passwords as well via SQL injection (among many other things of this nature) they can't claim ignorance of the problem. It was a yuuuuuuge shitstorm for Sony at the time.
