Reading some of the comments, it would seem that incompetent dipshits were running their back end infrastructure. Plain text passwords? I mean, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!
This makes me incandescently mad.
A site like Post Millennial, posting what they post, and with Andy freaking Ngo working there, someone who drives the tr00ns crazy, needs to have their security ON FUCKING POINT.
If the staff there can't or won't understand the skill level of the people who are after them, they need to just quit. /rant
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.

That's a good point. They should look into their contractors or whoever actually did the work.
