Worse, the Gawker post on the issue http://gawker.com/5712615/commenting-accounts-compromised-++... releases no details. Instead of giving a detailed description of what happened, they simply say, "change your password." With that level of detail, you might think they're now afraid to even write "4Chan."

And the post doesn't allow comments either, so there is no way for users to mention the extent of the compromise.

There's a red bar across the top of the site linking to their article - is this new?

As of at least my morning, yes.

Wonder if it was a response to criticisms posted here, then.
