Claims of Stolen Yahoo Email Credentials

There are a couple of reports regarding an alleged hacker breech of MySpace and LinkedIn claiming posession of millions of Yahoo accounts.

Yahoo says it is aware of the claim, that it is unsubstantiated and under investigation.

This hacker, known as "peace" has attempted to sell MySpace and LinkedIn credentials before.

Attempts to contact many of those email addresses proved undeliverable.

Now then, in our never ending fear of the inevitable hacks we may be certain of one thing: there will also be less than credible claims to throw us off track.

While I have a yahoo account which I am going to use until I get a replacement to evade the evil empire verizon ... I have changed my very lengthy and complex password yet again.

This tedium which is our failure to enact reliable security should abate with the advent of these new "exploit detection" servers DARPA has solicited which appear quite promising in the threads.

I hope you're as sick of this crap as I am.
