Just a heads up. Hacking group Lulzsec have, the guys responsible for most of the well known hacks over the last few months have ceased operations, at least in their current guise. Their last hurrah, though, is a biggie - they've leaked a huge amount of data which includes 50,000 "random gaming forum" usernames, email addresses and - in some cases - passwords. It's not clear which forums the lists are from. In addition, there is "internal data" on AOL and AT&T, a list of half a million Battlefield Heroes Beta users, 200,000 users from Hackforums, more on the FBI and a list of routers that have not had their admin usernames changed. Oh, and more. Don't worry none of our forums and websites are on either lists, i checked. The 2 files are safe to download as they're just text files with peoples usernames and emails. This post on GAF has links to downloads of the Battlefield and Forum Member lists without the passwords included so you can see - we strongly advise you check out for yourselves whether you're on the lists. If you’re on a list with a plaintext password - and you use it elsewhere - change all your other passwords. Use CTRL + F to search for your username. Mine was on the battlefield heroes beta list. However it was just my sibry username. So no problem really. Still kinda freaky though. If you're on the gaming forum list. Change your passwords as that's the list that had passwords taken.
