So, I ran a test on one of the education websites I'm currently using (AT SCHOOL!!) To see how secure they are...... They sent me my password in plaintext FFS!

    They sent you the password at the registration or because you reset the password?

    @altermind I should clarify, I clicked the 'forgot password' button. No reset or anything, they just sent me my password in an email.

    Just contact them and tell about the issue, explain why it is important to encrypt the user's sensitive informations

    @altermind that's the plan. I was just surprised by how inept the website was.

    Heh, that's nothing. My coworker actually changed his scores by SQL injection in university's databases. Twice.
