The dangers of password plaintext storage?
Track: Java
Topic: OWASP Vulnerabilities
Focus: SQL Injection
Java: SQL Injection
Answer
Plaintext storage exposes sensitive data if breached.
Storing passwords in plaintext means they are directly readable if accessed by unauthorized parties. In a data breach scenario, plaintext passwords allow attackers to easily access user accounts. Always hash passwords before storage to mitigate this risk.
