Yup.

I'm signed up with haveIbeenpwned.com to receive notifications of data breaches, and have received official notification that my account was included in the Livejurnal breach from 2017. I'm not taking any action right now because when the rumors started swirling about there being one a few weeks ago, I logged in and changed my passwords then. (And by 2017 I'd switched to randomly-generated passwords of 15+ characters and keeping them in 1password so I never have to actually remember them, so nothing else of mine was compromised.)

Still, if you haven't changed your LJ password since then, you need to. Especially if you reuse passwords.
