"In November 2020, a collection of more than 23,000 breached websites known as Cit0day were made available for download on several hacking forums. The data consisted of 226M unique email address alongside password pairs, often represented as both password hashes and the cracked, plain text versions. Independent verification of the data established it contains many legitimate, previously undisclosed breaches."

Oof. Thanks for the heads-up, davidof.
If the password table was accessed, it's sensible to assume that any personal data held on Snowheads has also been extracted; contents of private messages (which are not usually encrypted), etc.

From information now in the public domain, it looks like the following - apparently ski-related - websites have also been breached at some point and have been included in a recent dump of hacked data.
NOTE :- the above is not an exhaustive list; some 24,000 websites are included in this data leak and those are just some with 'ski' in the name. There are likely others.
If you had a log-in to any of the above sites, you should head there and change the passwords.
If you've used the same password anywhere else... 1) give yourself a sound thrashing and 2) go and change it everywhere you've used it (but NOT to the same new password!).
