Atlassian HipChat hacked in password theft

Australian software vendor Atlassian has reset all user passwords for its popular workplace communication platorm HipChat after an attacker broke into the platform and accessed user data.

All passwords on HipChat user accounts have been invalidated and users instructed to reset the credentials.

To channel a little Steve Ballmer:

Password manager,
Password manager,
Password manager.

Don’t be a fool try out 1Password or LastPass if you’re not using one already.
