    There was a previous article on this with more explanation that I’m struggling to find.

    The gist was that they do hash all passwords stored, the problem was that there was a mistake made with the internal tool they use to do that hashing which led to the passwords inadvertently going into some log system.

        Yeah, cause trivial systems are a lot easier to parse and review. At a base level that’s nonsense logic.
