heh, the devs were telling me about an issue they solved with caching, sounds like a side-effect

Looks nice!
I'd like to see a feature where I give it a budget, maybe a temperature preference, and it books me a random trip.

I'm not sure I'd worry about that... if the proposed laws were worse, then I think you'd see another SOPA/PIPA style reaction.
And then you have to consider the chances that a response from the administration will actually start an investigation / reformation.
For better or worse though, I guess I'm willing to see where it goes.

If it's anything like ours, they don't like to touch systems that 'work'... They don't have the resources to audit, update, and re-train everyone to use the current version.
Then there are the students hired to build internal tools who wouldn't know SHA1 from Bcrypt/Scrypt...

It's not my dump, so I can't say. I've only been able to verify the university of michigan data is real.
Doesn't look like anything too critical was hit though.

It seems like they "fixed" people being able to read the passwords by replacing the the form value with __USE_EXISTING__...
It's still trivial to automate account takeover though. Here's a PoC to take over pandora accounts on your network using MITMProxy and Tornado: https://github.com/JackWink/Pandora-Account-Takeover-Tool

Facebook banned the app when the point was to hack another account.

My guess is that they may encrypt it, but not hash it? Or it's potentially saved from the POST and not kept in their database?Is there ever a good case to encrypt a password instead of...

Yeah, but I'd rather end up with someone with a shared tech interest. I'm not saying that it's not possible with Craigslist, but definitely more likely via HN.
Thanks for the padmapper suggestion! I'll give that a shot next.
