I find it funny that people are outraged about unsalted MD5 yet they use passwords like "secret123" that are found in every wordlist.

Guess what: Even salted hashes won't save your ass with such weak passwords. And yes: it's a FUCKING TRADING PLATFORM you want to put money on so _you_ should think of a secure password.



And what makes you think that the same people who are complaining about unsalted MD5 are also the same people who use passwords as weak as 'secret123'?
