The United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has given the following guidance, which I would advise anyone with a Facebook account to read, doesn't imply there were any passwords leaked - www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/ncsc-response-and-advice-following-facebook-cyber-incident The article you also linked does clearly state that passwords were not breached as far as Facebook was aware, so providing you're using a unique password for Facebook anyway, the risk should be low.

While Facebook is unaware of passwords being leaked, I do not think it is unreasonable to assume that it is still possible that they were. Also, yes unique passwords are important but not everyone does that. God damn facebook stop being so shit. I have to change so0000 many passwords now, joy. If that is the case, you have most likely already been breached on another and just are not aware of it.

Also, yes unique passwords are important but not everyone does that. I think it all depends quite how paranoid you are... Tbh if both Facebook and the NCSC have said there was no indications of a password being breached, I'd probably change the password when I get around to it, but I wouldn't be rushing to do it. The main risk here is phishing scams given the type of info they apparently got exposed?

You shouldn't have the same password in any two places I have over 20 different passwords, its just that facebook and 3 other social media share 1. But its all secured now, i had 2 accounts and 2 passwords to deal with.
