Backlinks.com client’s data leaked

Due to the bad security policies implemented in Backlinks.com admin panel, a huge ammount of client data has been crawled by Google and it is accessible in the Google cache with a query like this:

http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&q=site%3Abacklinks.com%2Fadmin

This data includes links sold or buyed, incomes, referes, names, emails even the passwords of those clients.

I have contacted Backlinks.com and their response was that the know this and have made what it is needed to avoid any problem, that is, they have reseted passwords period. No warning for affected clients, so those who used the same password for different services have their password revealed to the public and don’t know they should change it.

Also you can see that Backlinks.com admin have access to your passwords, they stated by mail that know they are showing asterisc instead of password, as if it was impossible to retrieve the password from the html anyways or that storing passwords in clear text should be forbidden by law.

As the company does not want to publish this I want to reach a wide audience so every client of Backlinks.com know what has happened, so please post this in your blogs, tell your friends, etc.
