A reporter I know and haven't heard from in months, randomly contacts me to lecture me about passwords. I explained to her we use bcrypt to hash passwords. Here is her response. It actually gets worse....

Then she accused me of not notifying our users about changing passwords and 2FA. This is an actual reporter with years of experience, and she didn't know we contacted our users within hours of learning about the vulnerability, and forced all of our users to use strong passwords. Wow...🤦🏾‍♂️

This is every bit as ignorant as Christopher indicates. In my mind, the event is resolved.

I'm re-upping a long thread I did on the password hashes. It's a primer on what they are and a bit about what a hacker would need to do with hashed passwords to make use of them.
In response to Christopher Bouzy.
