Ok let's say I use md5 or sha1 encoding in my website but when I built it I didn't know about the use of salt to make it more secure. If someone's password gets stolen, is it my fault? I mean, am I responsible. Obviously my site contains no sensitive personal data, but say they use the stolen password + email combo to hack into the person's Hotmail account? What are the legal boundaries here? ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.91 Probable Submitter: 202.61.163.30 (proxied: 202.61.163.30) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80967 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80967 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80967 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
