Clear text passwords on filmtipset.se
The Swedish movie review site filmtipset.se just sent me a mail containing my password. Not an autogenerated one, but my old 20-ish character long password. Apparently they didn’t learn anything from the Bilddagboken security breach… Time to find a new site to keep track of my watched movies.
