The HN post from earlier when the VPN ban speculation started:

What is the relation between blocking VPN and data breach? why would this be a reasonable response? Is it to prevent mass login attempts using VPNs to mark origin or what?

I'd imagine knee-jerk reaction when they noticed hacking and just started to blanket ban IP ranges to access their entire infrastructure

My SoundCloud account seems to predate my use of 1password and I didn't seem to migrate it.

Uh oh.

I hope they have a nice GDPR compliant deletion policy and my account is long gone.

Just checked and my account was created (and last used) in 2013...

So at least they get some old accounts to become active again :D

Curious... Why does VPN access disruption suggest the breach may be deeper than initially disclosed?

My understanding is that this prevents anonymous access to servers which would help during investigation if any further unauthorized access showed up. But it doesn't confirm that unauthorized access continued. Just curious how you are thinking about this though.

Please say more about the Password Rotation. Where, how, which?

Go change your password. And do it for every website you reuse that password.

The keyword was, “automated password rotation tools.”
zdragnar 53 days ago [-]
Your question didn't include the words automated or tools, and your incomplete "where, how, which" was ambiguous enough to apply to the idea of password rotation generally rather than the tool's interactions with them.

What is ‘The Password App’? As in the built in ‘Passwords’ app?
