Gmail,Hotmail,Yahoo....all attacked !

On 7 Oct 2009, Hotmail came under severe attack. Passwords for thousands of hotmail users were leaked online, and speculatedly security for over 150,000 account were compromised. This actually turns out to be quite surprising. And not only Hotmail, passwords for Gmail,and Yahoo were also leaked out. It is speculated that these hacks were done using a DDoS attack on the servers.

I hope my account password isn't one of the !
