TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

A bunch of valid username/passwords have been released on internets with claims they came from Dropbox and there are up to 7 million more to come.

Dropbox have just responded by force-resetting a bunch of passwords but best to get in early and reset your password yourself in case there's any downtime between release and Dropbox reset.

Also, if you use the same password in a lot of places, please don't do that and change those as well.

Looks like the passwords may have been sourced from third-party services, rather than from Dropbox itself. Still probably a good opportunity to change your password.

Passwords are annoying.

Very true, until you get a password manager.

1Password was the best $35 I spent all year.

Where's the compromised list? those normally end up on pastebin, wouldn't mind checking if mine is there.

Full list isn't up, a random sample from the B's

We'll guess it's time to change the password, again.

Full list hasn't been released.

What it looks like this was, and what Dropbox is claiming it is, is a list of passwords compromised elsewhere, then checked against Dropbox users so they could pretend they stole them from there.

They release a small sample of these user/password combos and asked for bitcoin to release the rest (which they aren't likely to have many of).
