This is not good news. Hope Apple gets this fixed fast.

From the Github page:

"-=Reports coming in that Server is now Patched with Rate Limiter=-"

Standard response to a brute forcer, kind of surprised ALL password fields everywhere don't have appropriate rate-limiters by now...

If your password is on this list, the hacks can bypass current Apple security. You would be wise to change it asap. If your password is as simple as the ones on the list, you would be wise to change it asap, in my opinion.

Also, it would be wise to turn on two-step authentication, if you haven't already. And make sure to use a good password manager. I highly recommend 1Password.
