View submission: Reddit's Streak of Bad Luck Continues...
Leaving the passwords unencrypted was definitely a lapse in judgement. That the password database was stored on media that could be easily stolen is unfortunate and shows that the reddit admins need to do a better job keeping sensitive information protected. The site going down because of a predictable DNS mis-configuration means that good change management planning isn't being practiced.
I don't see how any of this is bad luck. It's bad systems management. Get it together, guys!
There's nothing here!
