T-Mobile Austria / Käthe and andrea of support

Credit: Twitter

When someone asks a company on the twitters about whether or not you store password in clear text, typically if they do, they try not to comment or admit it. But Käthe over in support T-Mobile Austria doubled down, brazenly admitting to and defending the plaintext storage of passwords, which makes them our hero. A couple of incredulous tweets and new articles later, and T-Mobile Austria unsurprisingly announced that they would stop storing passwords in cleartext. We can only hope to see Käthe again, presumably as VP/Marketing.
