10,000+ Hotmail Accounts Exposed

It has now been confirmed that the usernames and passwords of more than 10,000 Hotmail users were posted online last week to a website for sharing code snippets.

According to Neowin, who first reported the breach, “the list details over 10,000 accounts starting from A through to B, suggesting there could be additional lists.”

The list has since been removed, and Microsoft is now investigating the situation, which impacts users with @hotmail.com, @live.com, and @msn.com email addresses.

Beware of phishing!

While reading this, I'm wondering how long does it take until the first list of twitter logins is available on the Internet :(

There are so much external Twitter apps on the net, where people post their twitter login details.
