Does T-Mobile Austria in fact store customers’ passwords in clear text @tmobileat? @PWTooStrong @Telekom_hilfthttps://twitter.com/SeloX_AUT/status/981406875811008513 …

Had the same issue with T-Mobile Austria. Apparently they are saving the password in clear because employees have access to them (you have tell them your password when you're taking to them on the phone or in a shop) and they are not case sensitive

Hello Claudia! The customer service agents see the first four characters of your password. We store the whole password, because you need it for the login for http://mein.t-mobile.at ^andrea

Thanks for your reply Andrea! Storing cleartext passwords in a database is a naughty thing to do. http://plaintextoffenders.com/faq/devs What can we do to get your devs to fix that?

Hi @c_pellegrino, I really do not get why this is a problem. You have so many passwords for evey app, for every mail-account and so on. We secure all data very carefully, so there is not a thing to fear. ^Käthe

Well, what if your infrastructure gets breached and everyone’s password is published in plaintext to the whole wide world?

@Korni22 What if this doesn't happen because our security is amazingly good? ^Käthe

Bad news for you Käthe, nobody’s security is that good. No, not even yours. It’s not that I say you are 100% getting hacked - what if an employee accesses the database directly?

@Korni22 Excuse me? Do you have any idea how telecommunication companies work? Do you know anything about our systems? But I'm glad you have the time to share your view with us. ^Käthe

Hey, T-Mobile rep? This is "You're going to lose your job" levels of bad PR right now.
