The number of FB comments must be multiple orders of magnitude larger than SO comments; the average user's education and comment quality much lower, so easier said than done.

The core of the problem, a lot of paragraphs down:

> we have strong evidence that supports our hypothesis that the adversary gained access to our [DNS provider's] credentials through the compromise of a third party provider

> A factor which possibly helped the attacker was that the password had not been changed since 2013

> We chose our DNS provider 18 years ago when 2FA was neither a consideration nor a possibility

In my understanding, there is continuously a chance (when mining solo) that you mine a Bitcoin block. If that happens (unlikely with consumer hardware) you make a lot of money at once since you get a whole block.

Such vulnerabolities would usually only impact a portion of users; and I hope these affected people have more reliable ways to keep up-to-date with vulnerabilities than HN...

Wouldn't it still be faster to alternate keys between both hands? The alphabetical order probably won't be optimal for that.

Besides, everyone is used to QWERTY and alphabetical order is not much better (if you have to find each key via the order you will type very slowly).

Mathematics books are full of "trivial" for things easy enough to require no explanation (not only trivial solutions etc.). Probaby CS inherited it.
