I just googled how to store passwords in a DB and the first result said I shouldn’t use MD5 or SHA. Reasonable person would do a cursory search for information if they didn’t have the knowledge. I am willing to bet they knew better. When I worked for a company that stored passwords in clear text, we knew it was wrong but never prioritized fixing it. If the execs would have faced jail time, I bet it would have been prioritized.
