Gawker uses a really outdated hashing algorithm known as DES
(Data Encryption Standard)[...] Because DES has a maximum of
8chars [...] If your password is longer than 8 characters you
only need to enter the first 8 characters to log in!
[...]
PEOPLE USING PASSWORD AS THEIR PASS!!!!!
I never saw the DES' 8-character-limitation and the 8-character-password password so clear before.
