Murder by Death

Forgive me nerding out for a moment, but this is something that probably affects an alarming number of people here and they won't know it.

Computer security experts have come across a spam list containing a pretty extraordinary 711 million email addresses. It contains two separate troves of data, one simply of email addresses, while the second more serious set contains addresses and passwords.

A security expert named Troy Hunt runs a website called haveibeenpwned.com that allows you to put in your email address to discover whether or not your address is on that list, or others, and whether or not you need to change your password for your email asap.

2 of my email addresses were compromised and MT's was as well, and while it's sort of a pain in the ass to change your password, it's better than some sleazy hacker having it.

Note:  if you use the same password for your email as you do for other sites, please strongly consider changing those site passwords as well; hackers count on people using the same password for their, Facebook, twitter, iTunes etc. and once they have access to one, they get access to them all.
