Another way to read this statement is that passwords simply doesn't work. We need something different. Something better.
And from the comments we find this:
> I am a bit confused. The article states that this happened in 2012, why is it posted today? Something happened in relation to this breach?
I think this also needs much better clarification. What has happened since 2012 which makes this newsworth now? And where is the LeakedSource report they cite but never link to? Where can I get more info?
This is very bad reporting.
