June 16, 2011 | 11:18 am

Hacker group LulzSec has published 62,000 emails and passwords that may have

been pilfered from recent hack attacks.

LulzSec did not identify what the emails and passwords were meant to access but

accounts on Facebook, Amazon, Gmail, Yahoo and World of Warcraft appear to have

been hacked as a result of LulzSec's dump according to various posts on Twitter.

" And as always, LulzSec delivers: http://t.co/yQlcu5x 62,000+ emails/passwords

just for you. Enjoy., " LulzSec said in a tweet.

The file containing the list of emails and passwords posted on Mediafire.com has

since been removed, according to the link on the website.

Various sites on the Internet have compiled databases to help users find out if

they're accounts are among those that have been disclosed by LulzSec, including

one at Dazzlepod.com and another by Gizmodo.
