Guest spazi Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) So shit just hit the fan, over 5 million emails and passwords were leaked on the internet. Most of them are russian emails it seems.I can vouch for it's authenticity and say that some friends of mine are on that list.I'm not gonna share the list, but there are ton of links on the internet if you want to check if your email has been breached, or send me a pm.http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/five-million-gmail-accounts-passwords-mostly-russia-based-users-leaked-online-1464808 Edited September 10, 2014 by spazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Pretty sure it wasn't google, but people who used the same password on other sites that were compromised. There is a reddit thread about it indicating a +[domain] which would indicate where they came from. http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2fzrdt/5_million_gmail_usernames_and_passwords_leaked/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spazi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) DOH! I should check my sources before posting shit :pI just wanted to give you guys a heads up.As I said, a lot of people I know got hacked, now I know where. News websites said it was google, I guess I kinda panicked :PThanks mr-protocol Edited September 11, 2014 by spazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nobody seems to be mentioning the 4.2 million mail.ru or 1 million Yandex passwords that were also dumped at the same time. I'm running Pipal against them all now to see what the stats look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spazi Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 C'mon, couldn't you just rename the goddam thread instead of giving it a freaking embarrassing title?Something like "Emails exposed!" or whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This is your topic. Can't you rename it yourself? (Never tried it myself, so it's an honest question, rather than a prod at you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
