40000+ Yahoo Voice accounts f'ed

Post by waryaa »

If you you use Yahoo Voice service you need to change your password ASAP because your credentials could be in the public domain. It has been hacked and the list distributed freely.

I can't believe Yahoo saved all those passwords in plain text with no encryption whatsoever! It is like 17 megs in size and most people used very simple and predictable passwords like 12345678 :)
