    Yes, which is why they’re vulnerable to mitm and local sniffer attacks.

        Not without compromised certificates they haven’t. You can tell because if they did they’d be world famous for having destroyed any and all internet security. Then again, they’d probably already be famous for having figured out a way to salt, hash and store passwords without ever holding them in memory first like they claim to do above, so maybe someone is lying on the internet about their vague “proprietary network protocols”.

        I haven’t looked into it but I was wondering about the logistics of setting up a federated honeypot for server side stream sniffing to build a plaintext email/password database.

      Man, you sound like you’re just using random words you heard in class. Clearly you have no clue how user registration actually works, let alone backend development.
