5 Million G Mail Passwords Hacked
 
If your G Mail password(s) hasn't been changed for a long while now might be a good time to change it...

It’s good news/bad news time. The bad news is that someone got his or her hands on nearly 5 million Gmail addresses and corresponding passwords and made them all public. The good news is that even if your Gmail address is on the list, the password may be too old to merit much concern.

I didn't hear about the hacking on the news I listened to tonight. Thanks for the head's up. We all have one type or another of personal information on the Internet and any type of hacking is scarey.

I don't expect any impact on any financial accounts that have different passwords (than the g mail).

Seems that this is much to do about nothing...as the headline says, Don't Believe Everything You Read On The Internet.

No! Your Gmail password wasn't hacked (churnalism bites) | Computerworld)
