We have just hit 1000 posts. That’s 1000 websites that are abusing their users’ trust to keep their passwords safe and secure. Wow.

This website got its start when two guys, who were just sick and tired of having to suffer through more and more of websites’ abusive security practices, decided to do something and we are thrilled to have had the chance to rally so many people around this cause. We’d like to thank you all for your continued support, be it in the form of submissions, confrontations with the offenders themselves or simply by spreading the word.

We’d like to give a special shout-out to those websites who have taken up the gauntlet and reformed their ways.

Plain Text Offenders is one of those special websites where everyone wants to see the day when it shuts down because it’s not needed anymore. Unfortunately, this doesn’t look like it’s going to happen any time soon.

So here’s to the next thousand,
