Hacker News Reader

It seems to me that there have been a few more lately than usual. I'm all for it though; the only way sites are going to start treating passwords responsibly is if they're embarrassed into doing it.

I'm OK with that. Hash leaks are big news.

I haven't seen what was the weakness exploited in all these attacks -- perhaps it's a common vulnerability that was discovered by a group of bad guys.

Not just the last few weeks, the last few days. I was already drawing that conclusion before this disclosure, and internally speculating that the same group or person might be responsible.
