- hood_syntax 10y agoNo, it's intentionally deceptive.
- Jarwain 10y agoThe way I read it is that the stolen data has a relatively high probability of including the first set of things, but a relatively low probability of including the second set of things. They don't want to say definitively for whatever reason.
- Bartweiss 10y agoI take it as "as far as we know, these weren't stolen, but don't sue us if we turn out to be wrong".
- arcticfox 10y agoPossibly, although they may have phrased it that way precisely to elicit your generous interpretation. Even in the scenario that they knew unprotected passwords were just as likely to have been stolen as properly protected ones.
- EpicEng 10y agoI don't know about that, sounds to me like they're still in the process of investigating and they don't want to use any absolutes. "We think these were stolen, but we don't think these were" is what I take from it.
