According
to the News, nearly 5 million usernames and passwords to Gmail
accounts have been leaked on a Russian Bitcoin forum. Here's what you
should know.
The
list has since been taken down, and there's no evidence that Gmail
itself was hacked—just that these passwords have been leaked. Most
sources are saying that lots of the information is quite old, so chances
are they were leaked long ago—though others are claiming 60% of the
passwords are still valid (not to mention really, really horrible).
