"Negligence to protect your information by the company may face a lawsuit for the damages incurred."
What damages?
"Great my email address is compromised now...cuz I had the same password as Epik."
Please let that be sarcasm. It's incredibly poor security practice to use the same password across services/sites. And yes, just as bad as Epik storing our PW's in plaintext.
ROBMONSTERENABLESNAZIS.COM is sad. Rob, please ignore the trolls. They're gonna do what they're gonna do. Fighting them just makes more of them come out of the woods. When they figure out you don't give a crap and that their trolling doesn't effect you, they crawl back into their holes waiting for some other target. They were trolls before they found you and they'll be trolls long after you're destroyed, if you allow it. Ignore them, no matter what nonsense they say.
I own the domain KillCops.com, I am not for killing cops, I have never used the domain and likely never will. Just something I bought for $10 years ago. Who cares if Rob has some Nazi domains. I got some .gay domains too, not gay. This type of nonsense in this thread is really beneath some of you.
Looks that all activity on Epik is tracked and logged...
Not uncommon as a security practice. But I cringe since a very common and practically required security practice is to encrypt passwords. IMHO basically whoever is in charge of security, should get fired. Rob ain't a coder. I tend to doubt he has the technical expertise to properly project manage his company. This is why Steve Jobs and Bill Gates created two of the largest tech companies in the world. Rob is just a dude. Maybe he seriously didn't understand best-practices or how to implement good security.
Rob imho needs to hire someone really competent as CTO. Current CTO has to take the hit for this imho. Sorry to whoever you are dude but let's face it, unless Rob specifically told you to leave it that way it was up to you to ensure the PW's were encrypted. Also up to you was to make sure the backup location was secured. You do know that you could have put a password on the downloaded archive file too right? Create dumps, zip and archive, add password protection (256 character) and upload to backup site.
