The Password Resets are pointless, the passwords are changed to avoid people getting into your accounts now that it has been discovered it was possible to break into the user database.....
However...... if someone did go in there to find account details, they can still get into your account via other details.
It isnt hard to hack an email, but they could contact LL from another email giving them all your other details to get into your account, and its creating an open timeframe for hackers to claim your account before you anyway!
Wahay!
It isnt LL's fault, but surely they should encrypt data!

Why change passwords when Hackers may have all your other details?

Why change passwords when Hackers may have all your other details? I think you're overreacting a bit. As far as it looks to me, LL only discovered that someone had been inside. There wasn't any indication anything was accessed, they were just alerting us to the potential that someone had. I think everyone should calm down and take a deep breath. Very probably nothing at all was even looked at.
