GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail hacked

[steve58]

OK folks, time to change your passwords again. :(   Looks like the hack affected mostly Russian email, but still millions from Gmail, Microsoft and Yahoo.

After eliminating duplicates, Holden said, the cache contained nearly 57 million Mail.ru accounts - a big chunk of the 64 million monthly active email users Mail.ru said it had at the end of last year. It also included tens of millions of credentials for the world's three big email providers, Gmail, Microsoft and Yahoo, plus hundreds of thousands of accounts at German and Chinese email providers.
...
Yahoo Mail credentials numbered 40 million, or 15 percent of the 272 million unique IDs discovered. Meanwhile, 33 million, or 12 percent, were Microsoft Hotmail accounts and 9 percent, or nearly 24 million, were Gmail, according to Holden.

You sent him the fees for the transfer, right? You gotta do that first! Same with the Canadian Lottery I won....which I don't remember entering, but what the hell.

Thanks for the heads-up, Steve.
