NOTICE OF SECURITY RISK AT GOTOP100.COM BASED SITES

If you have ever signed of for a top site list that is based upon gotop100.com then please know that your password has been compromised.

One of the top site list admin accounts I have collected over the years is http://earn.gotop100.com/ (Earn Online Top Site List) and I just now noticed that in member management when browsing member accounts then the idiots at gotop100.com provide each member's password in clear text (no stars, just the actual password)

I, myself, am not inclined to abuse this information but if I was then perhaps I would be having a field day knowing everyone's password. Hopefully you've had the discipline to use a different password on each site you have an account at (or at the very least you rotate several passwords between accounts)

Again, you don't have to worry about me or your account at http://earn.gotop100.com/ but please be forewarned NOT to use a recycled password at any gotop100.com based list site.
