For those wondering, vulnerabilities to SHA-1 were identified as early as 2004, and vulnerabilities to the SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) family were identified as early as 2011. It's up to the people who depend on users to crowdsource their content to keep us safe. This means regularly evaluating your own systems for vulnerabilities and fixing them.

Imgur just found out. Quit sniveling about it.

They were only aware of it not that long ago... And you should be using unique passwords for every site/service you use anyway.
