    Default Nearly half a million Yahoo passwords leaked following hack

    "Some 450,000 email addresses and associated unencrypted passwords have been dumped online by the hacking collective "D33Ds Company" following the compromise of a Yahoo subdomain. The attackers said that they managed to access the subdomain by leveraging a union-based SQL injection attack, which made the site return more information that in should have. According to Ars Technica, the dump also includes over 2,700 database table or column names and 298 MySQL variables retrieved during the attack." https://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=13234 http://www.microsoft.com/security/on...ds-create.aspx Highly advisable to change password if you use yahoo email. Personally I don't use yahoo email for anything important. Probably a good thing to switch to gmail if you can.
