    This is a headline waiting to break "all password data stolen from Aviva, a spokesperson said 'all customers are screwed'"

    Passwords should never be encrypted. They should be salted and hashed. A bit of a nitpick I guess.

    So who wants to bet they also don't validate their inputs and don't use prepared statements?

    @iguana Oh, yeah, you're right. Don't know why I said encrypted! That's a bad idea when it comes to storing passwords.

    Can't help but think this also means they're using string concatenation to build the insert sql, which is an injection waiting to happen

    Unfortunately even some big finance companies store passwords unencrypted ...
