Things NOT to do with your lifestyle site

Just got an e-mail from a regional lifestyle website. It included an offer to win a sybian, but more importantly it included username AND password information in plaintext in the e-mail, just sitting there. As in:

Hey Novakinky,

Log in and win a sybian! Here's your Username: Novakinky and Password: Password!

And if you go to log in and change the password or deactivate/delete your account, you can't. It's impossible to delete your account when your subscription is inactive! So those sexy pictures you might have put up while trying the site can never be deleted, and if your password is ever exposed in a leak you can't do anything about it AND if your e-mail is ever logged into by someone else they can retrieve those credentials!

I've noticed there's a rush of groups looking to cash in on lifestyle money. Be careful which random internet website you trust, it's not just credit card information you need to be careful about.

with potentially huge liability for the owners of the site. That's just damn stupid
