Hackers are all the rage these day, with major players like Sony and Sega having their account data compromised and our stolen. According to Techland and Gizmodo, LulzSec, a hacker group that seems attack out of boredom, is the latest hacker to strike, compromising more than 62,000 accounts and releasing their passwords online.

Says Techland, “LulzSec released some 62,000 e-mail addresses and their associated passwords out into the wild this morning. Where these e-mail addresses and their associated passwords came from? That’s unclear.
But you can check if your e-mail address (and, by extension, its associated password) is part of the package that got released, thanks to Gizmodo, which is part of the Gawker network, which built a similar tool back when its own sites were hacked late last year.

If yours is part of the data dump, you’ll want to change any passwords associated with that e-mail address immediately and it’d be a good idea to change as many of your other passwords just to be on the safe side.”.
