Manish's Daily Dose of Thoughts

Indyarocks password stored in plain text?

I just got an SMS from Indyarocks which was mere a reminder that my password would be archived in 7 days. I need to login to keep it active and then they even sent the username and password in the SMS itself. The SMS is as follows:
Your Free SMS account on Indyarocks.com will be archived in 7 days. Login now to keep it active. Ur Login Id: ManishSinha pwd: **********
Looks like Indyarocks stores the password in plain text and not the hash value. Should I feel insecure?

I created this account last year to get updates related to placement from The Placement Department and never logged in.
