Pfft. Not even going to be the hottest his year.

Image was taken immediately before posting, the issue, apparently, has since shown up again.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
OP would do well to responsibly report it, rather than stirring up drama over a web forum account.
¿Porque no los dos?
Took them 23 years to fix it last time, seems public awareness would be important in the interim, no?

This isn’t far from reality. Spez has his head so far up Elon’s arse he’s wearing his face.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
Well it’s a good thing your opinion has no effect on reality.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
You encrypt the datastream from the text input on the client side before storing it in a variable. It’s not rocket science.

If self awareness was a disease you’d be the healthiest person alive.

Sure, if you’re illiterate.

Lmao

It’s a good thing your opinion makes no difference then isn’t it.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
I haven’t looked into it but I was wondering about the logistics of setting up a federated honeypot for server side stream sniffing to build a plaintext email/password database.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
Yes. I agree 100% with the things I can and I defer to your experience where I can’t. I used to write proprietary networking protocols 20 years ago and that’s the knowledge and experience I’m leaning on.
As a matter of practice we would ensure to process passwords by encrypting the datasteam directly from the input, and they were never unencrypted in handling, so as to protect against various system and browser vulnerabilities. It would be a big deal to have them accessible in plaintext beyond the user client, not to mention accessible and processable by email generation methods and insecure email protocols.

Imagining thinking what’s popular is best. Betamax, HD DVD, Firewire, Ogg Vorbis, and friends would all like a chat.
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 1 year ago:
It’s been hard to tell because reddit isn’t releasing user retention statistics that are easy to find for other social media sites (minutes per user per day), also due to vote obfuscation it can be difficult to know from vote counts because they could just manipulate the bias.
There’s also a lot of established communities around media/internet personalities that are largely unaffected by the changes and unlikely to move without significant fan pressure.
But people go where the content is, last time I checked the top 5 posts on Reddit were under 30k votes and were all tiktoks. That tells me that the content creators and the progressive adaptors have all moved on already, the rest is attrition over time as the service and content continues to stagnate.
The one thing reddit has propping it up artificially is it’s remaining position as a valuable information resource particularly for niche topics and especially while the fediverse doesn’t get boosted in seo yet.

Yes, which is why they’re vulnerable to mitm and local sniffer attacks.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
25, I used to write proprietary networking protocols.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
The front end to backend traffic should be encrypted, hashing occurs on the backend. The backend should never have access to a variable with a plaintext password.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
You have the text input feed directly into the encryption layer without an intermediary variable.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
Still bad practice and a security vulnerability at best. Email isn’t E2E encrypted.

Poes law. This is Internet 101.Catch up.
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 1 year ago:
That’s like saying Digg isn’t dead because the website is still there. But what was once the front page of the Internet is a forgotten footnote that now stands as a bot content farm. Reddit will go the same way.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
It sends the user generated password, not an auto generated one.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
You’ll forgive me for not trusting anyone who can tell me my password that isn’t me.

- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
They can’t send it if they haven’t stored it, that’s the proof. Whether temporary or not it’s a weakness and attack vector for obtaining unhashed passwords. And if they stored it, it should be immediately hashed.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
It’s not a system generated one they sent, it was user generated.
- Comment on We should rename Solar to Patriot Power to make it palatable to the right 1 year ago:
And vaccines can be “passover protection”.
- Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. 1 year ago:
Yes, still not worth risking using a duplicate password though.
