TMoible defends storing their passwords in clear text. WARNING: this twitter discussion is fucking retarded
Yeah, pretty shitty. I use T-Mobile USA for pre-paid service but no doubt they're fucking it up here too.
Any website that can email you your forgotten password is storing in plain text.
holy fucking shit
god damn it what the fuck
this is unacceptable for such a large company
Käthe ain't gonna be employed much longer
>woman in tech
>>>>>>CUSTOMER AGENTS SEE FIRST FOUR CHARACTERS OF YOUR PASSWORD
what the FUCK. thats more than enough info to guess 99% of passwords.
What is it about Twitter that turns people into rude assholes? Holy shit.
T R I G G E R E D
AHAHA
I actually applied there. Good thing I didn't get the job.
I can't believe this is real
Holy fucking shit.
Why is this allowed?
Is Käthe the name pajeets use when Austria outsources its customer services to India?
Does anyone actually like Austria
Well this one cool dude came from there but that's another story
>I know more about account security than a multi billion dollar international telecommunications company!
Stay retarded, Jow Forums
Storing passwords in plaintext is actually quite common. You can't do secure authentication schemes like CRAM-MD5 without it.
Check whether your email server supports cram-md5 for shits and giggles. If it does, it stores your plaintext password.
What are we looking at?
This was this one guy with a pretty cool moustache that was born there. I always liked him.
bait
>yfw the marketing team running this Twitter account have more authority than anyone in tech
twitter.com
Most of their server software hasn't been updated in years.
Why censor this? It just looks like a shop when it's presented this way.
It isn't, she's fired by tomorrow.
My fucking sides
That's what they get for "hiring" interns instead of competent people. "amazingly good" security my ass.
She fucking better be
It's all over twitter, reddit etc. Really bad PR, she's a goner.
I love how they are already hacking this
OwO
It's probably vulnerable to all sorts of shit.
Where's the hacker known as four chan when you need him?
:^)
>build date
>2011
>2.6
this has to be fake...
Oh for fucks sake. I'd think about switching contracts, but I'd be surprised if other providers were any different.
No. Fucking. Way.
She's now got more "customer service incident handling" experience than most of her peers.
WHAT THE FUCK
goes from polite and courteous to weirdly defensive and hostile in 1 reply
>we have the best security! You have nothing to worry about!
lmao
and that's T Mobile shorted
>god damn it what the fuck
>this is unacceptable for such a large company
Sony did it with Playstation Network users. Credit card data was stored in plaintext
Big companies need consumers to think they know what theyre doing, but remember that the bulk of their backend was devised by new college graduates led by 60 year olds who just want to retire soon
Hey Käthe
Yeah like the PR intern working the twitter account is an expert on their infrastructure. Telecommunication is objectively a haphazard industry and the person posting for T Mobile should be fired
>get hired by T 2 weeks ago
was too good escaping neetdom
Yeah but she wont be putting this on her resume
Pop corn time?
Go back to twitter, Käthe.
>Build Date: Jul 13 2011

How is it supposed to be done? I suppose you can't hash them like passwords as you actually need to use them in their original form so what is there to do besides encryption of the plaintext?
Maybe ciphering?
It gets better.
So is this exclusive to austria or will worldwide be effected?
And whose fault is that?
That's still at best only security by obscurity.
Encrypt and hash 2 numbers at a time with each section stored in a separate area needing a separate key to access it giving you the pointer to the next location etc, how we do it at work
At least it's better than plain text.
What's their biggest crime other than whoever is running the Twitter account
Just how bad can this be
Let Stripe do it for you. :^)
So heartbleed would work here?
It’s probably pajeet and not Stacy the one to blame
I've had several pleasant conversations with her. Not really something I expected out of an incest thread, but I guess you find all sorts of people here.
No fucking way.
>Austria
Who gives a fuck?
If they do it in austria, they do it everywhere else.
schule.t-mobile.at
It's not even over HTTPS.
It's documented in the PCI DSS standard, current version is 3.2.
The future of IT: Pajeet taking care of the systems, Stacy taking care of PR
T-mobile?
Maybe is a trap?
posting in a glorious thread.
Did you had tried the default password?
Well...noctua.
Well it's a multinational corporation, so...
They tried.
This isn't even a big deal.
This has to be a honeyspot by T-Mobile to turn in script kiddies to the government.
Maybe, maybe not.
>Assuming people are intelligent
>implying anons aren't using vpns
Of course. I'm an elite hacker.
>he doesn't use a different password for every website
Literally your own fucken fault.
kek did someone rm -rf the entire site
wew lad
Phone free day in Austria today.
t-mobile.at
I hope it went something like this:
twittertard >hey some people are complaining out our passwords or something?
IT >lemme see..
IT >fuck all that, our shit is super secure, they're just plebs who don't know what they're talking about
twittertard >yeah, ok..*proceeds to engage in ignorant bantz detrimental to PR*
twittertard >man, people are really pushy about stuff they don't know about, huh?
IT >what the fuck? were you telling people what I was saying? Jesus christ, we're going to be fucking fired.
I thought marketing/PR people are told specifically to not do what this person was doing. Don't start bantz, don't argue with complaints, don't confirm nor deny any accusations, etc.. Maybe it's just austrians
it's up for me, missing the fun part :'(
Never seen an Austrian named "Käthe". Thats a very german name.
That's the ass covering school of PR, but this looks like the result of a tier 1 phone agent being promoted to the keyboard because people DM/@ tech support questions. All the brilliant marketing in the world won't help you if the wrong person answers the message.
do you guys think Kathe is hot? I imagine her as a blonde 20 something.
Fucking based Kathe
how is cricket
Austria has some of the dumbest women I've ever met but they're hot
At this point I would just point metasploit at it and see if it works
I'm pretty sure this bitch just painted a target on the company for hacker groups
What the fuck
Even the smallest project i've ever worked is using hashed passwords using salt
I wonder how their top management react to this one
Their top management didn't give a shit anyway. They'll only react because it affects their seats and find a scapegoat. They'll throw money at the problem to make it go away.
