 |  DomainTools.com .... Can it be trusted? Anybody else notice this at registration at www.domaintools.com (the former whois.sc site) ...?  The screenshot I took and captions I added explain it all really... Are our passwords encrypted in their database? This is now what, 250,000 DomainTools.com users? How many of them are at risk? Well, glad to know THIS at least, -Matt

|  Re: DomainTools.com .... Can it be trusted? I didn't know this (I registered at the old days when it still was whois.sc), but if they don't encrypt users passwords in their database I better change my password to something else..... /Andreas |

 | Re: DomainTools.com .... Can it be trusted? Hi there, Well spotted compuXP, and a reply to the title "DomainTools.com .... Can it be trusted?"...No! If a company with over 250,000+ users can't be bothered to encrypt there user database, how can you trust them with your money? I hope you reported this to them compuXP, and really you should get a reward, that is a MAJOR flaw. Good Work Sherlock! Regards, Kieran Taylor, SimpleNetwork.co.uk |

| Re: DomainTools.com .... Can it be trusted? Hi there, Checked and made an account to see for myself, and to my surprise! Wham! My password for the world to see, OK maybe a bit dramatic, but for people who use the same password for everything, that could unlock doors for fraudsters. Thanks again compuXP. Regards, Kieran Taylor, SimpleNetwork.co.uk |
