Y Combinator Breach?

2 points by hsnewman ↗ HN
Today I was notified by Google that I should change my password on ycombinator because of the breach. Is this true?

I am on a breach-monitoring service, and I have received no such notice. I'd be at least a little suspicious.
The google password monitor checks the password you are using on each site you visit (if it is stored in their password vault) and looks for that credential in known breaches. It doesn't mean HN was breached specifically.
