Helmut wo ist Käthe hin

Helmut wir brauchen Antworten geht es ihr gut

Käthe verliert ihren Job nicht. Die Antwort war in der Hitze eines Twitter-Threads offensichtlich nicht klug. Die Mischung aus Häme, Hetze und „Feuert Sie“, die dafür aus manchen Tweets kamen, sind hingegen erschreckend.

I don't think she should be fired, however a PR job clearly isn't her cup of tea. Imagine someone received a clearly rancid cut of meat at a restaurant, and the manager dismissed any concerns with empty platitudes like "we take the freshness of our ingredients very seriously."

Two-way encryption is in no way an industry standard for storing passwords. it's an embarrassment.

FYI, there's no such thing as a "one-way encryption." Encryption implies an ability to decrypt. Hashing is one-way. Saying "two-way encryption" just sounds redundant, and comes off like you have no clue what you're talking about.

thanks mr. mansplainer. i knew that already, your wise guy correction behaviour was not needed, i just didn't fit a complete detailed pamphlet about how cryptographic hash functions work into my tweet. go be an obnoxious pedant somewhere else, bye

So then why would you say two-way hashing? Sounds pretty ignorant, but looking at your Twitter profile, you seem like a typical Eurodiot... so nothing unusual there. "Does stuff with IT Security" is actually very alarming. Shouldn't people that do know what they're saying?

*facepalms*

Pretty much me to you. Listen, little "girl." Don't play with things that you shouldn't be playing with. Leave security to those that know what they're doing and what they're talking about. I just hope that no one trusts you to run actual security on a business level...

Two valid responses here 1. We don't care about customers' security, GDIAF 2. We apologize for putting our customers at risk and will be switching to *hashed* password as soon as possible There is no option 3. There is no such thing as a "safely encrypted password"
