Database Compromise and Why You Might Not be Able to Log In
#6
They are one and the same. Nothing was hacked in the sense that they have plain text passwords though. They got a dump of the users table which contains all of our user info but the passwords are encrypted (not to mention that this was a mass attack so they likely have thousands of database exports) so it's unlikely they've been able to actually access any accounts. It's still better to err on the side of caution though, which is why I recommend resetting your password.
