Of course this didn't actually happen as it was reported. No where near that many passwords have ever been leaked. And the only thing they were telling us was "scary russian hackers get access to billions of passwords!"

I've found over the years it's easy to tell when a story about security isn't all that true. A story without any actual evidence behind it, that sounds very scary, is almost never true.

What's the performance overhead though? And size overhead? I'd imagine it'd be quite large.
