... if you happen to know a website that stores its passwords in plain text (despite years of people saying "don't do that!") then pointe them here: Storing Users' Passwords in Cleartext May Be a 'Knowing Violation' of GDPR | Privacy Compliance & Data Security[^]

And remember: 20,000 euros is a "relatively small fine".

But nobody here would do that, would they? Laugh | :laugh:

I notice that the article fails to mention that storing an unsalted hash is as bad as storing passwords in plain text.

“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

Not Allowing Web-site Visitors to Block Marketing Cookies *IS* a *CLEAR* Violation' of GDPR

Beware of he who points the finger, for the finger should first point at himself.

Their not-at-all-clever obfuscation tactics earned them a 0.0.0.0

I was thinking about the word "language", as in programming language. And then I was thinking about HTML and XML. These two are also called languages, but are they really?

I think to qualify as a language, something has to have procedural statements, not only declarative statements. It would be like a human language having only nouns but no verbs. It wouldn't be much of a language.

What do you think? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's a way of transferring information from one place to another.
Even pictures tell thousands of words without being language.

No, they are simply text/data Markup.

It was IBM in the 1970's that started appending the suffix 'language' on GML which became SGML which then became HTML.

I'm in the process of relearning how to play bridge, I used to play rubber bridge many years ago, and the bidding conventions are just like a language, you bid to convey information!

I think it's a question of context. In certain contexts to call them a language is a non sequitur but in a lower level of context they fit as in a medium to transmit data. They don't qualify as a medium to compose a computer program.

Yes I see what you mean. A language conveys information.

They are not languages. They are types of markup. CSS is not a language, although I think it gets a little bit closer, it has conditional statements
