Link to the orginal report: https://www.websiteplanet.com/news/infostealer-breach-report...

It's frustrating that he offers no information about where the data was taken from, or any way of checking if my passwords are compromised.

Your link is a bit weird (you can delete everything after '-report')

Also, strangely no discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44062726

It's copied straight from zdnet. Too late for me to change it now. Maybe it wasn't discussed becuase it's so vague.

IIRC, it’s common to not throw a vendor under the bus if they properly disclose the breach so as to not discourage reporting of breaches. Healthier for the unfortunate ecosystem.

This is not a “breach” the article hints at a trojan which scrapes or exfiltrates credentials off of user computers not a singular provider’s database.
