Just a heads up that Yahoo's apparently been the victim of hacking and that login credentials for some 453,000 accounts have been leaked. If you have a Yahoo account it's probably a good idea to change your passwords!

People still use Yahoo? I wonder who's going to claim responsibility.. Anonymous haha. But on a serious note that's quite bad, hope no credit info or anything gets taken.
Password changed! Thanks for the heads up! (this means that I recently changed my Blizzard account, my LinkedIn account and now my Yahoo account. Fuck you cloud!)

author=Link_2112author=TauThat's what I was thinking. What's its appeal?

Well, they have many features other than being a search engine and having mail. Yahoo being clearly overtaken in those two areas has taken away a lot of their spotlight and people don't seem to see that Yahoo still has some great site features.

This is a sad day. One of my old yahoo accounts has had the same three letter password since the day I registered it. Now, I have to make a six letter password. Ugh...
Edit - No, I'm not a complete idiot about passwords, it is for one of my filter accounts that I use as a spam receptacle whenever I sign up for something online. There aren't exactly any state secrets in there that need protecting.

This sums up so many thoughts. Network security in 2012: Just like in 2002 where everybody thought a hash was enough! iirc the linkedin hacking got passwords that were unsalted and used a SHA-1 hash which is fucking disgusting.
oh shit again this is the 6th time i mass change my password.
here we go again.
@#!# you hackers!!!
edit: some user made a list of affected username with password removed! and all of my e-mails isn't on the list. close call. if it was hacked i have to change all of my password all over the internet again.
but i will going to change one e-mail where i used it for credit-card, personal detail,etc... purposes...
since my 3 e-mail is only use for site registration and spam test to avoid spam and hack.
my advice is that you should make a new e-mail that you can store all of your important and personal information (like credit-card,etc...) instead using a single e-mail even your e-mail is hacker your other e-mail isn't hack and you don't have to contact a lot of companies to change/close your credit-card account and such.

speaking of hack...
how dumb is it that a lot of major sites been hacked all of a sudden? this isn't happen before... it there a new security that was released and there a lot of problems that can lead to hack?
i mean last year i didn't herd a single news report about one of the website that i used was hacked and password leaked.

author=jomarcenterThere were several large hackings last year. Same with the year before. This has been happening for several years, it's nothing new. Hacker groups just like to show what they're capable of by exposing the poor security methods used by various websites. It's usually a case of "look at what we did guys, you better fix your security" instead of "har har har, we have these account passwords and now we're going to cause trouble!"

Also only a mentally challenged person would store their credit card information in their email. In this day and age of completely random account hijackings, it's pretty much one of the dumbest things anyone could do.

News of hackings like this (among a shitload of other stuff) are commonplace if you visit sites like ArsTechnica on a regular basis or visit communities interested in IT security and other things related to computers.

I wonder how you put that on your resume without getting a visit from the FBI (or your country's equivalent).
I hear it's not uncommon for companies to hire former hackers since they are (obviously) highly experienced in that field. Anti-virus companies are especially infamous for this, hiring former virus writers to fight viruses.
A less malicious example would be Crunchyroll, an online anime streaming service, who I hear has allegedly hired some former fansubbers as translators.
As the old saying goes: Fight fire with fire.
