I think of all websites I use (FT included), AC has my weakest password, because of the limit of 10 characters and no special characters. And yet they get more of money than any other website, maybe excluding my bank.

Most successful hacks today don't bother with the front door anymore, the backend is usually targeted and with the plethora of systems used between AC and AP - well, nothing would surprise me.......
I've been debating writing a little blog post about "hacking" AC for EYW. I was amazed how much of their website let me do whatever I wanted. I guess it's a good thing I didn't have any nefarious plans
