www.comhem.se (owned by tele2) has been sending plain text password from a third-party domain with no encryption for several years. their management don't even change it when we file a complaint. after writing to a newspaper they recently published an article about it but the company still denies doing it wrong...https://computersweden.idg.se/2.2683/1.722651/com-hem-losenord-klartext

That might be a case for the Swedish implementation of GDPR.

GDPR is implemented in Sweden but only for sham purposes like everything else here, the laws look good on paper but then reality is completely different
