Readit NewsThis is a really good reason to be careful about what you log to log analytics platforms. I just recently implemented an ETL system that has the credentials (along with other stuff about the job) for data access passed into it from a PaaS framework. While I want to log the information, I don't want to log my DB connection strings! It's very easy to overlook such things and produce them as part of application logging/exhaust without realizing it, especially now that we have mass adoption of things like Splunk, Logg.ly, CloudFront, Cortana Analytics, Elmah.IO, LogEntries, Seq, and a dozen others.
Completely agree. Here's another example: BitDefender (antivirus) passes your email and MD5 of your password in the hash when you want to go to your dashboard. When I contacted them more than 1 year ago about it, their "senior e-threat analyst" said it's nothing to worry about. Absolutely ridiculous.
What to do when the company is ignorant and continues to use something as stupid as that?

Four years ago, Tesla introduced the Supercharger Network – the world’s fastest charging solution – to enable convenient long distance travel. Today, more than 4,600 Superchargers allow over 160,000 Tesla owners to drive across the continental U.S., from the Arctic Circle to the south of Spain, and across all of the population centers in China and Japan, among many other places. Supercharging has even helped owners drive their Teslas around the world.
We’ve designed our network so that all customers have access to a seamless and convenient charging experience when they’re away from home, as our intention has always been for Supercharging to enable long distance travel. That’s why today we’re announcing a change to the economics of Supercharging – one that allows us to reinvest in the network, accelerate its growth and bring all owners, current and future, the best Supercharging experience.
Ensuring Use for Long-Distance Travel For Teslas ordered after January 1, 2017, 400 kWh of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) will be included annually so that all owners can continue to enjoy free Supercharging during travel. Beyond that, there will be a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car. All cars will continue to come standard with the onboard hardware required for Supercharging.
We will release the details of the program later this year, and while prices may fluctuate over time and vary regionally based on the cost of electricity, our Supercharger Network will never be a profit center.
These changes will not impact current owners or any new Teslas ordered before January 1, 2017, as long as delivery is taken before April 1, 2017.
The Road Ahead Just as you would charge your cell phone, we believe the best way to charge your car is either at home or at work, during the hours you’re not using it. For travelers, the Supercharger Network has become a powerful, unique benefit of Tesla ownership. As we approach the launch of Model 3, this update will enable us to greatly expand our Supercharger Network, providing customers with the best possible user experience and bringing sustainable transport to even more people.
