Title: Passwords Flow Freely at Starbucks Post by: HCK on January 17, 2014, 02:00:19 pm Passwords Flow Freely at Starbucks
Starbucks has admitted storing users' passwords in plain text on its mobile apps, creating security and privacy risks. Anyone with access to a customer's phone could obtain that person's user name, password and email address by connecting the device to a computer and opening a file. The clear text reportedly also displays a string of geolocation data that could put customer privacy at risk.
