Hey since this is blown up I just want to address it directly.

I take responsibility for what happened here. My RubyGems.org account was using an insecure, reused password that has leaked to the internet in other breaches.

I made that account probably over 10 years ago, so it predated my use of password managers and I haven't used it much lately, so I didn't catch it in a 1password audit or anything.

Sometimes we miss things despite our best efforts.

Rotate your passwords, kids.
