I got one of those a few weeks ago.
When I inquired about it I was told that the password I was using was found on some leaked password list and due to that they had set a temporary password to protect my account.

Does that not imply they are not using salted hashes, but storing the passwords in plaintext? Or maybe they're intercepting the passwords and testing them against a dictionary?
