Small world. Only yesterday I read that great comment from user
adameasterling about credential stuffing in another thread [1]
> Troy Hunt is such a treasure. And for us web application developers, there is no excuse for not having protection against credential stuffing! While the best defense is likely two-factor, checking against Hunt's hashed password database is also very good and requires no extra work for users!
That user even listed 23andMe [2] as an example but it's from 60 days ago. This incident is referenced on the techcrunch article.
