Copying and pasting doesn’t prove your point. HOW did they get the plain text password? Hashes aren’t reversible so they must be stored in plain text or are encrypted in a reversible fashion which is an amateur move as well. Either way, they somehow had access to the user’s password which is a huge no-no
