Doesn't help the fact that you apparently had a data breach years ago that you never told us about.

And it looks like they only told us about it because Dreamwidth informed its users about the LJ breach.

True facts, that.

I haven't trusted LJ since it was taken over by the Russians. I've always wondered what it was actually doing with our information and who it was giving it to. I quit using my account years ago because of that but kept it open since I follow an author who posts here, but now I have to worry about a security breach that compromised my password years ago that LJ never even bothered to tell us about -- why would their customers want to know about a piddly little thing like that anyway?

It's probably time to close my account entirely.

Well, Yahoo also had big breach and never informed users... we found out after a few years.
Oh, and they are not Russians -_-

You had data leak and said nothing until we knew about this from news. Not from you. Do you have more leaks we don't aware of?

Dreamwidth Twitter Account is still advising everyone that their LJ passwords were compromised.

"After reviewing their statement, we are not changing our recommendation that you should consider your LiveJournal passwords compromised."
