Good post. I played Neopets ages ago and I looked to see if my data or whatever I remember of it was compromised, luckily it wasn't a part of the leak.
The internet and companies have evolved so much as we now know the harm of plaintext passwords, using universal passwords, and importance of two factor authentication. Password complexity is also something that is required nowadays unlike before when "password" and "123456" were perfectly acceptable. We're making progress!
RE: Hacked databases, how I found my old account(s) and new accounts made by invaders due to being compromised.
