If you rely on Google, Microsoft, Yahoo or Mail.ru for your emails, you should go change your password right now. Reuters is reporting that a Russian hacker has stolen more than 273 million email passwords and are selling them online. If true, this would be the largest security breach since hackers attacked US banks and retailers two years ago. This revelation, Reuters reports, comes from a security expert at US-based security firm Holden Security. The company told Reuters that the stolen accounts include 53 million Mail.ru accounts, 40 million Yahoo accounts, 33 million Microsoft Hotmail accounts, and 24 million Gmail accounts.

Yup, got a warning from my bank yesterday about this. If Chase is worried about it i would say the rest of us should be also.

The internet is cool but in NO way secure.  This kinda thing just gets worse. I don't like using my credit card on it anymore.  Got hit a while back for $500.

It's pretty hard to stick a cat in bag when it's already been out.
