No one has gotten my password, and I haven't gotten anyone's. Is this still a thing, and are they going after certain people?


there hasn't been another incident since, so it's unlikely. you should still update your password, though.

If you only use one computer, just a reminder that this exists: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/15491-securepw

This will insure that your password is unguessable and can't stolen by a malicious script, and it's easier than not using anything at all.

It's not if the passwords are being intercepted prior to hashing.

Errr, hashing and salting passwords is enough to prevent this from happening. Why isn't that being done already?
