If tech journalists would use the right terms that would at least help lead the public towards a better understandings of this issue. I presume they say 'encrypted' as their generally means 'not plain text' to the lay person. To be fair, we do call these cryptographic hashes.
By the way, if anyone is wondering how VBulletin forums store passwords... It's md5(md5(password)+salt).
- leapius 13y agough, cos md5 squared is twice as secure as just once - why not md5 x 10 to be uber secure?
- deskpro 13y agoif my memory is correct this is because they don't have access to $password; they get md5($password) from the client and to store that in the database with a salt need to run md5() again.
