^this.
The question is, why are the passwords not encrypted in the first place? Is this a vBulletin issue?

And regarding the issue that FT86SF and possibly its sister site Subispeed don't own their own security, does that apply to their checkout page as well? If that's the case, then there probably wasn't much if at all that they could have been done on their end to prevent this.
