Of course, news of this list of leaked @HOTMAIL.COM @LIVE.COM and @ MSN.COM PASSWORDS has caused a flurry of activity around the search terms hotmail passwords leaked hotmail passwords, hotmail passwords list, hotmail passwords 2009, pastebin, hotmail leak... Just in case you were not already frustrated by the search for the list of leaked hotmail passwords from Postbin.com.
I guess my question is, why the hell would anyone want a list of Hotmail passwords. Typically speaking, anyone using Hotmail as their primary Email would probably not have all that much money to be an effective target for extortion. Maybe it is just the bragging rights to say you posted a list of hacked Hotmail passwords online. Kinda a sad accomplishment if that is all that is engraved on your tombstone. Especially considering there have always been detailed instructions on how to hack Hotmail passwords posted on various sites all over the internet.
Whatever the case, users of Hotmail, Live and MSN Email are being warned to change their passwords, if they have not already been compromised. If you have important Emails, you should always back them up. I found this out the hard way when a Yahoo Email I had been using for over 10 years was taken away due to my SEO activities. Apparently someone took offence and reported me.
