I just joined LinusTechTips.com and before my first sign in, there was a message in a red box above the login area stating that due to a security breach it's required to change the password before continuing. Is this real or was it some guy trying out a phishing attack??

It was real, although it happened a month ago I think.

That is real, but has already been solved.

It was quite a long time ago. I still get the same message on my notebook.
