Not so OT: For our own group safety, check your Yahoo account (but not only)

[Guest guest]

Dear Lestmates,

You certainly heard that 450 000 Yahoo email accounts have been hacked -

mainly English-speaking ones.

It might be wise to check that your Yahoo account and its password are

not included in the list which has been published on the Web.

Furthermore, several other types of mail accounts are affected; below,

you'll find the list of those types:

* 137 559 comptes basés sur yahoo.com ;

* 106 873 comptes basés sur gmail.com ;

* 55,148, comptes basés sur hotmail.com ;

* 25 521 comptes basés sur at aol.com ;

* 8 536 comptes basés sur comcast.net ;

* 6 395 comptes basés sur msn.com ;

* 5 193 comptes basés sur sbcglobal.net ;

* 4,313 comptes basés sur live.com ;

* 3 029 comptes basés surt verizon.net ;

* 2 847 comptes basés sur bellsouth.net.

For French-speakers, this article details the types of accounts and

offers a free test to check whether your accont(s) is/are on that

list.or not:

Moreover, I've read that the encrypred and " salted " passwords of 1

million of accounts of the American " Android Forums " members have been

stolen too >

So, check those ones too, if necessary.

Don't forget, it is far wiser to not use the same password for all your

accounts!
