On the other hand, if they've cracked the database and got your hashed/encrypted password, they'll more than likely ignore the password and just access your credit card, bank account, health details etc directly. If the company is lax about passwords, it's pretty unlikely that the rest of the data is encrypted! The only reason password encryption is any more important than any other data is that people tend to re-use passwords, so a hacker of one database can often then access others; or actually impersonate someone else rather than just steal their money / reputation.

This would require them to have a copy of the database (or at least a direct connection to it).
And if you can get a hold of the application code (even the compiled version) then salting your hashes doesn't much matter. With some effort the hacker could identifier your salt key and process and adjust their "hacking software" to make their rainbow tables work again. Although you should be safe if you are using a password manager as it's likely they will have your password in their list.
Let's just hope this "company X" doesn't have your credit card details stored right next to the plain text password

Thanks - I will give the CEO the weekend and on Monday I will send that.

Just out of interest, where does all this fine money actually go? (Apologies for not researching it myself, I just assume you probably already know the answer).
Also, are you purposefully not playing CCC this week, or are you struggling with them like the rest of us?

Bribes, probably - this is the EU after all ...
I'm playing the CCC, but yesterday and today I have no idea what they might be.

Or how about this email: "Our system has lost your password, which we store as plain text. Since you must have received a confirmation email at some point with your plain text password, could you please forward it to us and cc: GuyThiebaut, and we will restore your password. Thank you very much."

Skip that step - since you have his email address, just ask their system to initiate a password reset on behalf of him. I'm sure they've thought that process out better...

Cécile Corbel - Arrietty's Song[^]
Another soundtrack, but with (Japanese) lyrics this time.
The Secret Life of Arrietty is a more recent Studio Ghibli movie (2011, so no Miyazaki).
The English version is dubbed by Tom Holland, better known as Spider-Man (but I watch subs, not dubs).
This is probably the first Ghibli I've seen where Joe Hishaishi wasn't the music composer.
However, Cécile Corbel wrote an awesome soundtrack and perhaps it's even my favorite Ghibli soundtrack to date.
It has a bit of a Celtic vibe to it and there are quite a few lyrics that I don't understand.
I watched the movie, got the soundtrack and then played it on repeat

Wow … this is a really nice track …
now it is on repeat over here as well

If you like J-pop, here's an artist who took over my iPod for a couple of months, which is rather remarkable given that it's typically playing a Sibelius or Bruckner symphony, or classic prog:

Just so you don't think your post is being overlooked, I am here to tell you I have no idea
Fancy adding a hint (or slightly easier clue) perhaps?

Yeah I went that far in the wrong direction.

Well, it's more than I got, so who cares which direction your headed... at least you are moving

You might want to take a look again. Hint added.

I thought about that and recourse. Don't think either are the answer though.
