Agree. So many companies don't act like grown-ups and just try to cover up the problem.

Still, it's going to be pretty tough getting your average customer back who hears they've been "hacked" and are afraid to create a new password. Not to mention the average customer's password is probably the same password across facebook, gmail, etc.

Absolutely. The biggest risk is the shared password part. It is surprising people still do it.

I am surprised that some of the big eCommerce companies still mail back the password in clear text. Just plain stupid.

Sharing passwords will end when I don't have to remember one for every random website ever.
