@Linux So the great thing about Fedi is that you can edit your posts as new information comes in. No need to write a separate update post, and it spreads just as well as the original. Updating the post to remove factually incorrect information also helps to boost the credibility behind the […]

@Linux That link specifically says it was old OTP messages (which are expired) and there's no link to account names, and no passwords. Your post, as of my checking it just now, still says 89 million usernames, passwords, and 2-step verification codes. So, yes, it is incorrect. I'm not sure why […]

@kisaragi_hiu 89,000,000 was the original report. - I do not edit my post. I also do not downplay hacks. Expired codes can be used to determine the algorithm and generate new codes. Everyone should change their password and reset their codecs.
