Are there any details about how the passwords were stored? "Encrypted" is a bit questionable. I'd expect hashed.

- varenc 8y agoThey clarify that the passwords were indeed hashed and salted. "Encrypted" is just there to help the non-technical audience understand their passwords aren't exactly leaked in plaintext. No details on the hashing scheme used though, so we don't really know how easy it'll be for the attacker to brute force the password hashes.
- tootahe45 8y agoBecause they didn't mention it, and the age of the site makes me think it isn't something we'd consider secure.
