Dropbox hack leads to dumping of 68m user passwords on the internet

4. The fuckers! They sent out the email, but it didn't say they'd been hacked

It just said something like "we notice you haven't changed your password since 2012". Since I haven't been logging on to it (I can't even remember why I signed up to it now - it could have been to access a load of family photos or something), I didn't pay any attention to it. Now, it seems what they knew was that people may be able to associate that password (whatever it was - I can't remember now) with that email address. So if I reused that password at any time I might be in danger.

Fuck, I hate online security. Every fucking thing asks for password, and you can't trust anyone to keep them safe. So no matter how trivial, you have to have separate ones, so you have to write them down.
