"the database includes Guns.com administrator, WordPress, and Cloud log in credentials in plain-text format."

Plain text? Not that hacking is acceptable, but how can anyone run a site this insecurely? Maybe in 1995. They should have at least been hashing and salting that information.

I find it funny how a gun broker is using wordpress. They got a million dollar domain and they're selling firearms with sensitive data attached to each transaction and they use fuckin wordpress...

Lots of large companies use wordpress. It's an open source platform designed for small or large sites.
