I thought it was interesting given how bad some of the security practices seem to be for companies, and how the TalkTalk hack could easily have happened to almost any service provider in the country.<p>The point about &#x27;passwords stored in plain text&#x27; is the most worrying one, since it&#x27;s been proven time and time again how irresponsible this is, yet large companies in the tech industry are still doing it.<p>Perhaps there should be harsher punishments for companies (especially large ones) that don&#x27;t seem to pay attention to good security practices and put their customers at risk as a result.
