    Security breach at Reddit

    Information stolen from Reddit may or maynot contain personal information of users.

    On a separate note, we want to make you aware that media of ours that contained a backup of a portion of the reddit database was stolen recently. Although the media did not contain any personally identifiable information about our users and we have no reason to believe that reddit data was the target of the theft, we wanted to alert you to the possibility that your username, password, and -- in some cases -- e-mail address may have been compromised. If you use the user name and/or password for other purposes, we suggest that you change them in those other uses as soon as possible -- just in case.

    Well now it is unsafe for the users of reddit. Just imagine if the data involving the personal information had been stolen.
