On: Gawker Website source, databases & passwords now on BitTorrent

My credentials were in the pile.

So, uh, how come I and everyone else affected don't have an email in our inboxes from Gawker right now, marked as urgent, explaining the situation?

Doesn't that seem like the right thing to do?

Max from Gawker claimed that users were notified yesterday afternoon:

FWIW: I wasn't notified.

I wasn't notified either. At least not by Gawker. Apparently the people at hint.io took the initiative to send out emails, which is nice of them, but hopefully they don't use the email addresses for anything else.

I think they had a competition to see how many buzzwords they could fit in to a single, run-on sentence: http://hint.io/about

The email addresses have already been deleted from our database.
