[Link] Astraweb retains your account and stores passwords in plain text

(1/1)

Hecks:
I thought that this thread over at r/usenet was worth linking here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/1dthg4/warning_astraweb_retains_your_account_and_stores/

This really is quite unacceptable practice, IMHO - both not hashing passwords, and refusing to delete user accounts ever. Any Astraweb users should be concerned.
