> Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter told CNNMoney they have notified and reset passwords for compromised users.

> The hackers set up the keylogging software to rout information through a proxy server, so it's impossible to track down which computers are infected.

Have I missed something or are these statements contradictory?

Nothing contradictory about it. First statement is about accounts on services, second is about finding the machines used to log into said accounts.

The sad part is that many people with this keylogger may react to the password change before/without removing the logger, which would entirely defeat the point.
