It looks as though the Gods have been getting some rough treatment by some monks. OK so storing the passwords as plaintext is embarrassing and it is fundamentally disappointing that this whole affair took place. However, I got an e-mail this morning informing me of the problem and then found that I had to reset the account password since it had been changed for me. This is a reasonably pro-active response and the gods should claw back some credit for that.
On a separate note - the job of changing passwords on other sites was easy because I use PasswordSafe. This allows me to create random passwords for each new site. The ones that had my old password in were really old accounts.
Ever noticed how difficult it is to delete an account?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
