You are providing Spokeo with your credentials for all your social networking apps. Isn't that scary?
At least there is one solace:
"Forgot your password?
Enter the email address to your account and we will email you a link to reset your password."
This might mean they are not storing your Spokeo password in plain text.
- tarkin2 19y agoEven if they store the passwords as MD5 hashes the system is still extremely vulnerable because of MD5 hash google searches as detailed a while back. Besides, the whole system is hub for potentially thousands of users passwords, and that would worry me a little. I supposed it'd use it instead of yahoo pipes or other mashup services - giving it lists of my friends' myspace pages and looking for new comments for example - but I would never give it my passwords.
