There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

someone on reddit posted a photo of the hashed passwords, with the clear text password next to it.  the clear text is only the first two characters then blurred out.

I don't think that's true.  I've just tried logging into dooglus@gmail.com which was on the list, and it's working as usual.  I've not changed the password or been told about 'unusual activity'.  I didn't use the MtGox password anywhere else though, so I'm not worried.

I got my account deactivated today too. I never signed up for MtGox though, I wonder if they were just locking down all e-mails associated with Bitcoin.

I mean it's not true that he forced a password reset for all gmail accounts on that list, because my gmail account is on that list, and no password reset was forced on my account.

It's basic logic.  Re-reading the whole thread won't change anything.
