Password security issue - please fix


Today I changed my password for accessing Contrebombarde. Surprisingly, an email was sent confirming the change, including my login name and password in plain text! This is a serious security issue and should be fixed as soon as possible — such data should never be sent in this form via email.

Dear Carillon, Here is your new login information: Username: Carillon Password: [written in plain text] Thank You! -------------------------------------------------------- contrebombarde.com - https://www.contrebombarde.com/concerthall/

RE: Password security issue - please fix


Agreed! Even worse, this shows that the site does not store a (salted) hash value of the password such as SHA256, but also stores the password in clear text. This is definitely not state of the art in 2025.
