It is lacking in nuance, information, and clarity. (Surely a significantly strong password wouldn't be immediately cracked when hashed & salted, right? I don’t know for sure, and that comment isn't helping.)

If you read the article, it says the passwords are hashed and salted. So I think the comment is appropriate... I don't think this is the same thing as passwords being sold at all.
