Thousands of Hotmail passwords leaked online
My IP is sending out spam, according to our ISP. Changed all my hotmail passwords yesterday. Maybe someone accessed my hotmail because of the leaked passwords, dont know. Kinda farfetch'd.
Looks like it was even bigger then hotmail: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8292928.stm
Thank god I have a different account (hoping it wont get phished...)
They say gmail also was leaked.
On a norwegian IT web site I found a place where you can check if your email pw was phished http://wasiphished.com/
You only type email adress, no pw of course.
What's the sites privacy policy, in regard to the email address you type?
yes Medic Gmail was also leaked.. that's it no more mail for me its not safe lol
If you notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not a notice.
