3 social networking sites have been hacked and 8 million passwords published. So, I ask you MNHQ

Are we safe?

Are you encrypting, are you salting and hashing, etc?

Are your algorythms up to scratch, and can you tango the hackers away?
Are we firewalled and ringfenced, or are we in a bell tent in a gale?

I would hate to see Justine make announcements such as LinkedIn and Eharmony, and Last.fm has had to do.....

If we've been hacked tech will be running for the hills with OF rucksack between teeth. It'll just be us against the mob. Better lay in canned goods.
I've got a few kit kats to spare if anybody's desperate?

No, Justine would never send lovely Olivia to the dogs like that (Arselick! :o) . A job for Tech if ever I saw one :o

HRHOliviaMumsnet deserves needs more gin.

I think Justine would surely hide under the bed and make Carrie do it. Or that poor Olivia wench. She gets all the crap jobs.
