... op the post literally breaks down exactly what happened and it has nothing to do with passwords. It isn't saying that they store your password as plaintext or even that anything to do with passwords or anything else was accessed. It is saying that regardless of the severity of any hack on any site, it is always a good idea to assume the worst and update all security info.
