        @BoingBoing @GreatDismal these are usually plain text passwords used only by customer service to verify you on the phone, not for website.

        @Sc00bzT @BoingBoing no, @virginmedia are not properly "encrypting" passwords. Far from it.

        @BoingBoing @troyhunt Good god, not the @virginmedia #password thing again. It's bad, it's wrong... use someone else if it bothers you.

        @BoingBoing I call bullshit. There are other ways to verify identify rather than viewing passwords.
