Your Password is Disclose
I was try one of the microblogging software with my friend for the past few days and we are noticed one of the features that automatically send notices to Twitter stored a plain text password in MySQL database. That’s mean if you’re using the similar web services, your Twitter password is actually disclose.
Remember if you’re using Meebo, Facebook, Friendster, Myspace or any other community site that require enter your email address and password, I think your password is
disclose. Said for an example Meebo, you can have single account register on Meebo that keep multiple IM account. I’m sure you already save your password in the database(no matter plain text or not, your password is disclosed). If you enter Gmail, Yahoo or MSN email address and password in Facebook looking for your friends in the contact list who use the same services, I think your password is disclose too. Perhap they claimed they won’t keep your password.
How about those ‘policy’ that protected privacy? What are they try to do with your email data. Sorry I don’t know.
