Hello all,
Am considering making a career switch and I have been reading this forum for some time. I have learned a great deal and hope to continue to learn from your posts. I was content to continue just reading and learning but I ran into something that warrants a note of caution.
I have signed up for the P&C course from testeachers.com and I was stunned to find out that when I registered and paid for the instruction on their system, the system sent me back an email with my username and password in the email in plaintext. In disbelief I changed my password only to find that when I finished, their system immediately sent another email with my password in plaintext.
This is an irresponsible breach of even the most basic level of network security. This makes it simple to compromise user information on their server. I sent a query to them with a plea to cease this silly and dangerous practice. I will update when I hear back from them.
I have not gotten deep enough into their material to give kudos or complaints, as yet. However, a word of caution is in order to all before you consider using their service.
best wishes all,
BR
