Well here's the deal. The way AW protects OP PWs isn't bad, it is just old.
There first mistake was not really taking legal action against matt, and just saying they did. Remember the last list of op pws that went around. That was because of AWProxy 3.1 that was still floating around. After aw disabled use of the 3.2 browser that was solved, but now matt decided to release his AWProxy 3.4 that he stole from a certain someone. Now that, that is floating around, no pw will be safe again. That fact of the matter is this 99% of people on aw wouldn't have the ability to decrypt op pws if the encryption method wasn't practically public. What I don't understand is back in the day when they changed the encryption method for cit pws why they didn't change it for op pws too...hmmm? So the solution is simple change the encryption method and all pws will be safe, because those that can actually get it again, certainly wouldn't be releasing any lists :) -Mod [View Quote] |
