You don't. I don't. Probably most people here do the same. But actually shitload of people do this xD And they all are so surprised later when their accounts/data are stolen. Also there are people who are surprised that somebody guessed their difficult password (12345).

Bot would crack that in less than 60 seconds (by checking most popular passwords).

probably but now with the 3 bad password limits, it can take a little more guess and even lock the account depending of the services that you use, they just use data leak/ keygen nowaday, way more convenient

They write:

We had no hacker attack and nothing was stolen.

One may translate it to this:

  • no hacker attack: some ex-employee took the data his last working day
  • nothing was stolen: the diskdrives are still there, but a copy of the data was done.

Glad that wasn't my main e-mail and that I was only using the randomly generated password I was assigned when I joined...

We decided to change the decryption method of our databases because of the hack rumors.
On new logins, please request a password Reset or use http://www.dlh.net/en/sendpassword
Beside this we added 50.000 Steam Keys from the arcade shooter Heli Heroes.

You've been pwned!
You signed up for notifications when your account was pwned in a data breach and unfortunately, it's happened. Here's what's known about the breach:
Breach: DLH.net
Date of breach: 31 Jul 2016
Number of accounts: 3,264,710
Compromised data: Dates of birth, Email addresses, Names, Passwords, Usernames, Website activity
Description: In July 2016, the gaming news site DLH.net suffered a data breach which exposed 3.3M subscriber identities. Along with the keys used to redeem and activate games on the Steam platform, the breach also resulted in the exposure of email addresses, birth dates and salted MD5 password hashes. The data was donated to Have I been pwned by data breach monitoring service Vigilante.pw.

You can also run a search for breaches of your email address again at any time to get a complete list of sites where your account has been compromised.
Check my email address again

Why are you only hearing about this now? Whilst the breach occurred in July, sometimes there can be a lengthy lead time of months or even years before the data is disclosed publicly. "Have I been pwned?" will always attempt to alert you ASAP, it's just a question of how readily available the data is.
As with any data breach, the usual advice applies: go to the impacted site and reset your password immediately plus, of course, ensure that you're not reusing that password on any other sites.
