India's online Microsoft store has been hacked, exposing the names, email addresses and passwords of its users, which were stored as plain text.



From Techradar:

Chinese hackers Evil Shadow Team have taken credit for the hack, posting up a message saying: Unsafe system will be baptized and a link to the group's blog. Microsoft Store India is not run by Microsoft, but by an Indian company called Quasar Media. It appears that the Microsoft Store India stored user passwords as plain text, making it relatively easy for the hackers to get hold of sensitive information once they had gained access to the site.
