Which is the simple point I'm making - a worst case scenario here destroys FB's reputation for safely storing your private messages.

It's mainly driven by investigation I'm guessing, with the FBI in tow too.

We don't know the full extent of the hack yet. As the thread says! It might be not so bad, or it might be awful.

Precisely.

1) Clearly this mitigates future risk. Which is obvious.

2) Yes it is conjecture.

3) Yes it is conjecture.

4) I'm basing it on what Facebook has told us so far. They are still investigating. But then I said that in the thread.

5) Saying it's bad because it's also bad elsewhere doesn't negate a single thing.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm the OP. The data is qualitatively different, but as I repeatedly say in the thread, we know very little so far except that 50m accounts were entirely compromised.
