Docker Hub being hacked was basically just a question of time. With how much of the internet blindly pulls images from it, the potential gain from hijacking just one high-profile one would be monumental.

#12I’m just hoping that I was using a password manager by then.
Any word as to the cause of this? Was something important stored in plaintext, etc.?

#14Well, this is pretty disappointing. Docker doesn’t let you install it without an account, so I registered and used it for maybe a day in all. And poof, there goes my account data.

#18I can't find an announcement of this anywhere besides HN? Will Docker be publishing info via official mediums?
I assume they will. I only just got the email and it looks like only a small subset of accounts are affected. Or at least that's what that PR spin is supposed to make you think.
