Hackers stole Flipboard users email addresses and hashed passwords

Hackers had access to Flipboard users account details, including usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, and account tokens for third-party social media accounts. Users have received an email from Flipboard, telling them that their passwords have been reset. Flipboard switched from using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm for password storage to bcrypt, which is held in higher regard, in 2012. Users would be wise to look out for phishing emails which may purport to come from the site.”]
