[Shocked] Harvard Business Review security breached – passwords in plain text

July 23, 2012 1 Comment

I have been an avid reader and follower of Harvard Business Review for several years now and was shocked today to see that HBR exposes the user passwords in plain text. The screen shot below shows that security breach.

HBR, I really love you …please fix this. I really respect and trust you didn’t do this intentionally. All the readers, please change your passwords for HBR and preferably disconnect your social networks with HBR until the issue is fixed.
