The attitude toward security displayed in this thread is exactly why there are so many successful worms (well, that and gaping holes in Windows) and e-mail viruses. The "there's nothing important to me that they could get with that information." That may be true, but what about others? For those of you that don't know, DDOS attacks are usually launched from zombies whose owners don't even know they've been compromised. More importantly, they don't even care.

Even more importantly, WTF does any of that have to do with server-side forum login password security? Answer: None at all!

Indeed, who isn't very clued about security issues here? Hmm.
