We are currently investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords. This follows recent password leaks on other sites, as well as information posted online. As a precautionary measure, we’re asking all our users to change their passwords immediately.
Let’s just assume that every password is going to be leaked.
As a developer, I’d like to know how these databases keep getting compromised.
Good assumption. Easy fix though: get 1Password or LastPass or something similar and securely stop using the same password on every website.
No. The tech writers want to keep the indie small web developer in the dark.
What’s up with the new media leaving standard tech reporting only half a story?
No clue.
