Don't get too excited. They never said what kind of hash. Given the rest of the site's security design, might have easily been unsalted md5

Or maybe rot26 — I've heard it's twice as secure as rot13!

Ah, thanks! Hard to keep up with this stuff. Next thing you know the boffins will tell us we need to switch to rot104 or even rot208 because of "post-quantum cryptography" or something.
