Hackers Post 450K Yahoo Usernames and Passwords to Public Site
It's been a productive few months for hackers. Maybe it's the summer months that keep them indoors, away from the mobs of society roaming the summer streets. Whatever the case, after a big hack on LinkedIn and eHarmony, a new hacker site called D33D has posted 453,000 login credentials that seem to originate from the Yahoo website. The hackers intended for this to be a "wake-up call" to Yahoo to improve their security. What a caring bunch of hackers!

The usernames and passwords were posted late last night and the blog world lit up reporting the hack.
