wait. so you think a plain text db of customer passwords does exist?

Or are you saying you couldn't access it because it doesn't exist

It doesn't exist. They were so secure about their passwords they wouldn't even let me check my password list against the database as an insider checking for fraud.

If he has the passwords, he could hash them and compare that against the entries in the DB.

I think he's saying he didn't even have access to the DB of non-plaintext passwords.
