There isn't a lot Hilton can do if people are being compromised (and it's clear at least some of the attacks are a direct result of this) because they're stupid enough to use the same password across multiple websites or services on the Internet.

It's basic security - you NEED to be using strong, unique passwords across EVERY website and service you visit. If you use the same password it's not a case of IF you'll be hacked, but WHEN.

Have unique strong passwords and a password manager and the Internet would be a much safer place for everybody. If you use the same password across multiple sites and your password(s) are currently on haveibeenpwned your chances of being compromised are significantly escalated.
