This is Yet Another Reminder to use unique, unguessable, unmemorable passwords for all online services. It's a question of when, not if, any particular password database will be compromised. While 'password1' and 'this is my long unguessable password' and 'm4r1g0ld' and 'false lemur capacitor paperclip' will all eventually be guessed, 'sF0PSQMwK85fe9xanqJRm9nty9cJGHJsVmti' will never, ever be.
- wtbob 11y agoWhy was this downvoted? It's true. The example password is 36 characters; a mixed-case-and-numbers alphabet has just over 6 bit per character; the example password is thus 217 bits. It's not going to be guessed.
- ryanlol 11y agoExcept passwords aren't even a relevant part of this breach. They're worth absolutely nothing compared to the ridiculous amounts of customer data linode controls.
