So the breach was in 2014, they didn't update their SHA keys for two years, they still don't know exactly how it got leaked and they're only now communicating this?

It's almost like it's a bunch of amateurs on a money-losing proposition or something.

Amusingly enough, today I got locked out of Imgur.

Never had an email associated with it, so they ain't emailin' me... but wherever their leak was from, it wasn't phished until yesterday.

I got banned from Imgur for arguing with some fuckwit over space related images that were clearly fake. posted links to the real images showing where they were altered. Guy I was arguing with had 800K Karma, pulled in a mod and I was banned.

I'm kinda proud of that one. Always expected it would be from calling some punk ass kid a cunt.

I love how they got started as an alternative to photobucket and then basically became photobucket with fucking voting.

I can't imagine, with their character limits in their comments section, that that would be a very easy conversation to have, let alone productive.
