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 :)
