I've made throwaway programs that communicate with local servers I create as a way to pass the time and even then I make sure to hash passwords at the very least. There's zero excuse to store passwords in plain text. None. Even a boomer should know better because hashing has been standard practice for decades.
All instances of plain text passwords should be considered sabotage until proven otherwise.
There are some with skill, but in my experience the troons know more than the average, but that's only because of tribal knowledge and autistic documentation. Troons excel at finding the gaps in people more than in logic. And thus the actual security autists are easily troon manipulated. Even autists like to hear that the problem is the world not them.
Looks like no one learned anything from the Sony hack. All the customer info was stored the same way. In plain old unencrypted text files.
Never trust even the big tech companies.
The “trust and safety” teams have caused more pain and suffering than before they existed.
See : Saudi Arabia bribing twitter trust and safety team and then torturing anyone who posts info critical of them.
I hope they don't take physical safety as lightly

That's a good point. They should look into their contractors or whoever actually did the work.
You won't believe the number of troons and troonlickers in cybersecurity.
