I'm 100% sure it was known it was MD5 before, and I'm 100% sure I've seen pastebins with lots of successfully bruteforced hashes, because my password was among them.

We will have to wait for a code leak ;-)

How come the salts aren't available? Did the attacker choose not to release them, or were they stored elsewhere?

Well, let's reply to the obvious troll.

Troy Hunt is a person, not a team, and I guess he links to HIBP because he's proud of his work. I know I would.

It's funny that I got my free certs from WoSign because I didn't want to give my data to the Mossad, and now it turns out they are related. :/
That's a bad argument because:

1) Apple would have sold their stuff in Europe whether they had to pay full taxes or not, they only wanted a discount. I would probably not pay for the solar panels because I can't afford them.

2) Solar panels are very expensive and would make a huge dent in my balance. That's not the case for Apple.

They are not fined, they are being told to pay what they owe.
0% tax on profits would be fair for whom? Definitely not the citizen.
How much is that at a macro level? Is it relevant at all?
