Sehgal wrote in the company blog post that Imgur is still investigating how the hackers gained access to the site. However, at this time, they suspect that passwords were "cracked with brute force due to an older hashing algorithm (SHA-256) that was used at the time." Imgur updated their encryption in 2016, two years after the hack.
They're advising users to change their passwords, while still noting that Imgur's policy of never asking for real identifying information means names and other "personally-identifying information" (PII) have not been exposed. To which some Imgur users are responding:
