[Discuss] Ubuntu forums hacked; 1.82M logins, email addresses stolen

[Greg Rundlett (freephile)]

Yep.  A quick search through my KeePassX database and my login for Ubuntu
forums was cryptographically strong, and (for me) unique to that website.
 *Every* login I have is unique.  I have a simple tool (KeePassX) to mind
them all.  And I have Dropbox to share the (encrypted) database, and I have
KeePassDroid to use the database on the road.
