TL;DR

APNIC has been forced to reset all passwords for objects in its whois
database after leaking authentication credentials that were hashed with a
relatively weak hashing algo.

The registry continues to analyse its log files for network resource holder
activity, and said it has not found evidence of any irregularities.

Probably a good thing nobody ever reuses passwords anymore ;-)
