Lulzsec releases 62,000 emails and passwords

[granville]

In that case, just go here : http://gizmodo.com/5812545/find-out-if-you...zsec-right-here

I'm waiting for about 10 minutes now, but it doesn't do anything. Is that a good sign, or what?

It checked mine within a second. If your information is safe, it will have the message below the text box-
Your information has not been released to the public.

If not, i suspect you'll get a similar message telling you your info is in danger. Might depend on your net with loading.

It is not a secret, and honestly while some people would have a desire to use this for nefarious purposes there is a bigger NEED to exonerate your name from the list for honest people (ie me.).

In that case, just go here : http://gizmodo.com/5812545/find-out-if-you...zsec-right-here

This site did appear to work with the emails from the file in case anyone was skeptical.

I've been waiting for a while too. That's not a good sign

Fucking hell i just changed my passwords already.

Never mind. Got it. Info not released. Try a different browser. I got the answer much faster in Chrome than FireFox

It looks like your plaintext password has been released.

Also, if you give credit for giving the Gizmodo link, give the credit to jan777. I didn't even see his post, and he linked to Gizmodo as well.

All credit goes to jan777! Thanks man!

 

[omgpwn666]

Thanks so much Slyakin and jan777! Now I can relax knowing my account is not compromised. Thanking you Slyakin because if you did not link that link I would have never found it from jan777. lol

 

[granville]

I spoke with the staff. I will allow general discussion of this to continue, but please do not post any links or give out any hints/filenames that would lead people to this information. If you MUST know if your info is compromised, use the links Slyakin posted. People do deserve a way to check and see if they're affected. We just don't want everyone access to ALL the names and passes.

 

[jan777]

sorry my post was hiding

I was looking for the list to check my accounts, and that's what I found.. so yeah.

 

[Sausage Head]

i also recommend you to try your friends' email addresses

paypal? wow now this has got to be the most insecure thing that has happened to ppl. if they can do this, then why wont it turn from lolz to lol$ without ppl knowing.
thats a very dangerous game they are playing now since ppl will trust putting their info on the internet. and paypal? why couldnt they have been even more secure considering massive important info is stored there.

USE CHROME TO CHECK AND NOT FIREFOX - thanks to Amiti

It is my belief (although this is pure assumption/speculation) that these email&password combos were not actually obtained from PayPal, but from some other, weaker source. And because loads of people use the same password for everything, the same password received here from the other site works on sites including PayPal. I'm pretty sure PayPal is secure.

Firefox works fine, but Opera doesn't.

@Topic: It's funny, but I'm not surprised this has happened. I'm not compromised, but my friends might be. Spread the word on your Facebooks, twitters, and other social outlets. Many may be outraged, but this is an important step in securing the internet.

now i wonder what site got hacked

this
else there would be far more then 'only' 62k emails

 

[Guild McCommunist]

All my e-mails are safe (my important ones, anyway) and I'll probably change my Facebook password anyway.

But yeah, fuck a duck LulzSec.

 

[jmanup85]

........and people support these people why again?

 

[Hydreigon]

People will support LulzSec until their hacking rampage affects them.

 

[Hop2089]

Quite a scare

My email is safe

Although my friends aren't, 3 have already been released to the public

My goodness gracious, lulzsec time to stop before it's too late.

 

[TheDreamLord]

Thank god im alright

And it seems my friends are too

Anyone here affected?

 

[clonesniper666]

Well that sucks for those on the list, just checked my 2 main emails and they were not affected but I did go ahead and change a few important passwords just in case.

 

[emigre]

Lulz at anyone who thought they were the good guys?
