I got an email 3 days ago asking me to reset my password due to "system updates" and initially assumed it was just a phishing email. Since gmail is pretty aggressive about filtering those I looked into it more and realized it was genuine which made me even more confused because I couldn't imagine what sort of "system updates" they could've done that would require a password reset for all users. I kind of assumed they were covering up a breach so I wasn't at all surprised to see this headline. How scummy.
- mattnedrich 7y agoI had the same reaction to the email
- aarbor989 7y agoI thought the same thing when I received it. However, at the end I gave them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps they were migrating from one hashing algorithm to another and decided to just reset everyone's password in the process. Lying about the breach entirely is so shady
