Plusnet ignores GCHQ, spits out plaintext passwords to customers

Re: Encryption/hashing/salting of password versus transport layer security / SSL

'Rainbow tables' as an argument against hashing / salting. Lots of big words and acronyms there, but you my friend have literally no idea what you are talking about! I mean Wow man, least informed comment here.

Plusnet Still doing it

Plusnet are still storing usernames and passwords in plain text, just was asked for the first three characters of my password for the online chat. How do they have this if it has been hashed.
