There are lots of passwords there (though one wonder if they were rotated). Basically, the people doing the hiring are sending PDFs with their credentials to the contractors to do the job.

Oh my. I feel for the tech team at fiverr. I'm sure it's nasty in there. Sending virtual hugs.

Personally I have more sympathy for the people who were screwed over by the incompetence of at least some of that tech team
