Has reddit been live for 13 years? Jeez. I thought my 11 year account was old.

I got on reddit in 2005, before you could comment.
Got on thefacebook as well in 2005 because the college kids in my classes (taking for fun as an adult) told me I needed to be on there to get invited to parties and so they could write on my wall. Good times.
Edit: 12 years, not 13.

Hi,
TL;DR: As part of the security incident described here, we've determined that your account credentials may have been compromised. You'll need to reset your password to continue using Reddit. Details below.
On June 19, Reddit was alerted about a security incident during which an attacker gained access to account credentials from 2007 (usernames + salted password hashes).
We're messaging you because your Reddit account credentials were among the data that was accessed.
If there's a chance the credentials relate to your current password, we'll prompt you to reset the password on your Reddit account. Also, think about whether you still use the password you used on Reddit 11 years ago on any other sites today. If there's a chance the credentials relate to the password you're currently using on Reddit, we'll make you reset your Reddit account password. You can find more information about the incident in the announcement post linked above. If you have other questions not answered there, feel free to contact us at [email protected].
