  1. Re:On the contrary: on Yep, People Are Still Using '123456' and 'Password' As Passwords In 2014 · · Score: 3, Informative

    And yet when an attacker can recover their plaintext password is doesn't really matter how "secure" the password was. I could have the strongest, most random password possible but if an attacker can steal it from you in plaintext, so what?

    And strong passwords are meaningless if the company is storing them in a really stupid way such that they can be recovered in plain text by an attacker. At that point, adobe123 is no less secure than a 64-character randomly-generated password.

    No, it will "polymorphically" add Slashvertisements to the pages you get served.

    How cute. Except that that credit agency will simply be ignored by the corporations who are colluding with the corrupt agency. And there will be nothing you can do to stop that. What you claim seems to come from someone completely ignorant to the history of corporations.

    In a true free market people will choose not to do business with a company that engages in fraudulent behavior, of course.

    And do what? Move to the other corporations who are colluding with the first one? Oh what grand choices!

    Through what? Wishful thinking? Certainly not based on the hundreds of years of history of corporate behavior.

    Then they'll send you to a collections agent and have that appear on your credit report.

    Yeah, he rails against Internet anonymity and uses a pseudonym to post. He should make his post under his real name otherwise he's being a hypocrite.
