Looks like the @devkitPro accounts DB (with hashed passwords) just got dumped on Pastebin (https://pastebin.com/0A775EZt caught by @haveibeenpwned). If you haven't changed any reused passwords yet, better get on that now.

I get what you're saying but nobody is pretending the dumps aren't out there. Nobody is hiding what happened. This seems pretty irresponsible to me given your involvement in the homebrew scene and the likelihood of your followers having grudges against users in that dump.
If I mentioned it's in a Pastebin *at all* then any would-be wrongdoers will find it anyway. And if I don't, that would be irresponsible towards those affected. Given the decision to mention it, putting the link in everyone's face is only going to help drive the point home.

I do understand what you're saying but it seems massively risky to me, I don't really see why people are less likely to change passwords just because they can't see a link to their data.

The dump you've linked to is also only a partial dump so, following your own argument, aren't users that aren't in this dump likely to gain a false sense of security?

That's just as idiotic as the argument "if we outlaw guns, people will get guns anyway". It's not a secret that outliers exist. But contributing to the problem is not any better. Spreading peoples' personal passwords isn't smart. If it's on 4chan, let it just stay on 4chan.

Are you *seriously* comparing gun control with linking to a public website that is already available to everyone? Come on. I didn't make that paste. That's like saying I'd be contributing to the gun problem if I ever tweeted a link to Defense Distributed. And I'm pro gun control.
