so most of those passwords might be working

Oh yeah, absolutely. And even if someone has changed their password between Apr. 15th and now they should still change it again now (and probably again after the gods declare the crisis to be over) just to be sure.

I just mentioned this (i.e. the date of the information not necessarily indicating when the hack occurred) to prevent a false sense of security (as in "Oh well, nothing bad has happened since April so I guess it's ok").

All dogma is stupid.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
