Re: Password pirates plunder XXX sites, from The Netly News
A huge number of passwords to pay-only porn sites are loose on
the Net. Just surf newsgroups like alt.sex.passwords or do a simple
search through a typical web engine and long lists of logins are easy
to find.
There is an easy solution to this problem. Just use one-time passwords.
Put it in a cookie. Every time the customer accesses the service you give
him a new one. He doesn't have to do anything. If he gives his password
away it won't work for him any more.
