    There was a previous article on this with more explanation that I’m struggling to find.

    The gist was that they do hash all passwords stored, the problem was that there was a mistake made with the internal tool they use to do that hashing which led to the passwords inadvertently going into some log system.

      “mistake”

      I call BS. The reviews I’ve gone through for trivial stuff would’ve exposed this.

      This was intentional.
