I changed my password, not because I think that there is a acute risk, but because I actually never changed it since I created my acc some years ago and this article reminded me.
Seems like its not even possible to activate 2FA for a couple of days, after you changed your password..
Maybe it's me, but this post seems fishy, especially given the references to event that took place over two years ago.
I was thinking the same thing. The same company whose CEO hobnobs[1] with Vlad Putin's buddies says:
remember to test sample passwords with our online password checker
Sure, be sure to send any password you're considering using to Kaspersky for thorough vetting. I'm sure they won't retain a copy of it. Trust them.
start thinking about investing in a password manager. Kaspersky’s password manager is a great one
How fortunate for everyone that they just happen to have such a useful product. But a quick Google also turned up a list of 7 open source password managers. Maybe consider using one of those instead?[2]

Assuming they did keep passwords, at best, be sides the password, what information would they have and how might it be used?
