And if you're not already using a password manager, you should look into it; I use BitWarden. It lets me have unique random 16 (or more) char pwds for every account, I just have to remember the BitWarden pwd. It has extensions for browsers & apps for phones that autofill usernames & passwords.

TL:DR 16 billion records leaked in 30 files, some likely duplicates. Records include URL used to login along with username and password. Services include Google, Facebook, Apple, even corporate VPNs. Probably a good time to at least change your critical passwords, including email and banks.

"When"? Probably shortly after they burn the bridges and realise no-one is left to help them dig themselves out of the hole they've dug.

Urgh, I just saw this after reading it on Mastodon. This is one reason I prefer Mastodon; having to break up this relatively short post into 1 post + 4 comments is... less than ideal. Of course, the other is Mastodon is decentralised, so hopefully less chance of going bad like Farcebork.

Yeah, it's one of the reasons I'm digging Mastodon over BlueSky so far; 300 vs 2,000 chars. But trying both for a while. ;-)

Hopefully the "reply" on BlueSky works better than Mastodon; I also dislike the fact that it posts a whole new thing on MY profile, rather than under the post on YOUR profile. Makes it harder to follow replies, I think, but maybe I just need more experience with it.
