  • They aren’t sure yet if someone else found it first. If a smart person found it first they could sell it piecemeal to make it harder to know where it came from. Each identity isn’t worth much but that’s a lot. Combine that with the password stuffing capability from a plain text password list and there’s…

    If you ever, ever store passwords in plain text instead of hashed and salted your business should be shut down. Thats below even Security 101 level, and shows a critical carelessness for user data.

    When we’re find things like this, unless we have exact audit logs proving there was no misuse, we assume it was misused because that’s the only sane way to do it.

    If it turns out they have excellent logging (hah) maybe they can prove it, let’s hope so for the affected people’s sake.




  • The thing I take away from Batman is that if you think a problem though, you can prepare for what might happen and have a response ready, making you look like a super hero for those without the foresight. It’s a power anyone can have, so it’s very relatable and actually a valuable lesson.

    Also, in many of the stories he is a terribly broken and traumatized man, and those sorts of characters are usually more interesting. Batman has just been around for so long he was brooding and sullen before brooding and sullen were cool which gives him additional cred. As the “flipside” to the Boy Scout Superman (at least at times) but the two have the same goals is where I really enjoy the character, I think the Justice League show did a very good job there in playing the two against each other.

    One thing is, like others have said, he has had very different personalities depending on writing so you may really only like certain versions of him and that’s valid.
