here begins the naming and shaming of organisations that after you enter extensive personal details etc on their website they immediately email back to you the password you have just entered (and confirmed) unencrypted for anyone to see.
Passwords look pretty damn scary in plain text.
First up (and many more to follow):
1. StepStone Solutions with responsibility for Channel 4′s recruitment are the first guilty party (appalling, they even sent a reminder with the naked password repeated a week later)
2. Lastminute
3. Be
4. EventBrite
5. Live Nation
6. Grazr
7. Sky News
8. AddThis
10. Harringey Library (in regard to wi-fi)
11. British Library (in regard to wi-fi)
12. Daily Star
13. Serph
14. Newscred
15. Days Out Guide
16. Fused Network
17. Wired.com
