The incident happened in november 2022 and I received an email update just now.

If you have an account with Hamachi, they’ve reset your password and you should change it.

Because I switched to Firefox’s password manager… I don’t have to do anything. For the first time in my life a notification of hacking doesn’t have to be a bother.

In 2021, I wrote on lemmygrad that Albion Online’s forums were hacked and I received an email that my password was hacked. This prompted me to finally switch to a password manager and just let it generate strong unique passwords for every application I use. It also auto-fills them in.

This means even if the hackers get my password (if they manage to decrypt it over the hash and salt), I don’t care. It’s not gonna lead them to anywhere else. It’s already been reset too so it’s not even good for my Hamachi account.
