Last.fm: 43 million users in trouble

Last.fm, which also reported an attack in 2012, is not defending its users’ interests in 2016. Forty-three million records were stolen. Fortunately, the passwords were encrypted. It is incomprehensible why companies keep secrets: leaks come to light sooner or later, and disclosures are far more damaging to reputation than if a company had come forward and told the truth itself.
