As you may have get wind , about 10,000 Hotmail passwords were leak online yesterday , and that inclination only started with the letters A and B. At that rate , over 100,000 user could have been lured into afford their word to bullshit Websites . Now the BBC allege it ’s seen a inclination on the same Website that had more than 20,000 email accounts — this time with addresses from Gmail , Yahoo , Comcast , Earthlink , and AOL .
The New York Times say Microsoft , Google and Yahoo have reassert the addresses are real , and that they ’re helping affected users recoup their accounts .
Even though you generally have to be pretty all-fired gullible to return for one of these phoney sites ( or open foreign - calculate e-mail attachments ) , now might be a good prison term to change yourWeb mailpassword … something you should be doing every now and then anyway .
