Ask HN: Did HN just get hacked and leak passwords?

Got an email security alert from gmail about someone logging into an old forgotten gmail account with my actual password. Well, that gmail account was one I hadn't used in years as I was going to replace it with my HN profile contact email, but never did. I often create a burner gmail account for social media accounts and use the same password as the social media login. I've changed my passwords, but figured I'd ask here to warn others of a possible security breach.
