What Hacker News says?
Apparently the breach was in their HTML code? Shouldn't this logic be server-size? If I were a MOZ user, I'd be very concerned. Per their comments at http://devblog.moz.com/2013/06/how-we-fixed-a-password-expos... "Yes, we are talking about the HTML source code." I initially thought this was a DOZ lawsuit related retribution.
