Salt doesn't work that way... you're supposed to randomly generate salt for each hash and store it alongside the hash itself. (Authentications are done by hashing the password and salt together, and then comparing that to the stored hash.) Saying "the salt was compromised" doesn't make sense, since there's no "one" salt, and it doesn't need to be "compromised", since it's stored in the clear along with each hash.
