Unlikely but worth checking just in case

[DaveB]

The hacking group Lulzsec have posted a text file of 62,000 email address/password combinations on the web.

It's probably worth taking a few minutes just to make sure yours arn't in there.

File is here : http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/620...dom_logins.txt

Plain text, checked for viruses etc.

Have you played spot the sockie on the list ?

[DimPrawn]

Phew! My email address of [email protected] with my password of gareth12031965 wasn't on there.

Much relieved!

[OwlHoot]

Are those all private email addresses of CIA operatives?

Oh dear.

Oh dear, oh dear.

[MarillionFan]

Rubbish. None of the hotmail ones worked. Ran them through a program I have.

If I was Anonymous on /b right now I'd be calling the OP a fag and telling them to FOAD.

Eh?

Since when did a plain text file need virus checking?

unless it wasn't really a plain text file of course

Serious question BTW.

It's just a text file (and it was rubbish).

As in nothing nasty lurking on the website / general reassurance that it was safe to click the link.

Sounds like your work.

Other sites have sockies too...

An analysis of that file LulzSec hack reveals people are bookworms

We are getting into book territory here with words like "shadow", "bookworm", "reader", "reading", "booklover"and "library" all up there. More than 30 people have chosen "writerspace" as their password.

But they are puzzled by this:

One thing that cannot be explained however is why the seventh most popular password is ajcuivd289

That sounds like a load of sockies to me. Anyone own up?
