Anyone who received the email has already changed their password.

No one uses the old database that was leaked.

So are all the recent string of hacks just from accounts that havent been used in ages? There was literally one guy on yesterday that got hacked whos password was cheung24234 or similar. Thats not bruteforced so he either got phished or they used the old hashes.

That was me. Robertt-.

I won't say how I got it but it doesn't involve the db or phishing.

Perhaps with the recent string of account hacks that have occurred on bitcointalk it would be good measure to send out an email to all users who had accounts created before the password hashes where hacked to tell them to change passwords. If everyone did this we would have a lot less successful attacks. Im sure an email has been sent out before but now that bct is being targeted a fresh reminder might go a long way.

Theymos already did this when the hack happened.
