My ex worked for a major international hotel in Mexico.
They stored ALL credit card information in plain text on a desktop of a lobby computer. That was used for customers booking over the phone. And that was roughly 15 years ago.

Just last month I got an account creation confirmation over email with my username and password. In 2019 there are still websites that do not hash passwords.
Everyone should install plaintextoffenders.com/ and stop using anything on that list!
