All of these sites deserve to get hacked. They're all big sites that should know better, they have money, they should have employed programmers who can do their jobs properly. Any site storing passwords in plain text is a massive breach of its users' trust. Yes it sucks for those users who got their passwords leaked, but if the site just encrypted the user's password (incredibly simple to do) they would have had no problem. Even if TGTAP did get hacked, which I highly doubt is likely due to the fact we only have about 40k members, we're not mentally retarded enough to think it would be a good idea to store your passwords in plain text. Also, why are you guys saying the hackers are "pathetic". You'd only say that if you were one of the users who got his password leaked out. What they're doing is a good thing. Without them, too many websites would be getting away with the crime of storing sensitive data in plain text for everyone to see. Just think, any database administrator legitimately employed by those websites can see your password, do you trust these idiots with it? I wouldn't. What these hackers are doing is raising awareness of the fact that it most definitely is NOT safe to store plain text passwords. They're doing a good job and I hope more high profile sites fall victim, since it seems to be the only way to get them to improve their security measures.
