Facebook passwords compromised.

[dennilfloss]

Looks like Lulz Security hackers gained access to many Facebook passwords and published them. Better change yours to be safe.:hmm:

Off the lulz security website:

In return for flooding /b/ this morning, have 62,000
passwords and emails. The top half is "password | email",
and the bottom half is "email | password"; these are random
assortments from a collection, so don't ask which site they're
from or how old they are, because we have no idea. We also can't
confirm what percentage still work, but be creative or something.

Enjoy, and remeber: Lulz Security always delivers.

So... it's just a list of "passwords" attached to email address. Who knows if they are legit. My email isn't listed, so I'm good!

Your email not having been released doesn't mean they don't have it amongst a bigger sample than the 62k they published.

deleted my facebook account over 6 months ago and never regretted it.

 

[TridenT]

Checked. I'm not in there.

It looks mostly like noob email addresses. So, I don't think they actually "hacked" anyone.

Link to the PWs? I didnt see it in the article :/

I think it's bullshit.

 

[sandorski]

Not on it.

This is part of why I enabled 2 factor auth for my Google account after the hacking of Sony.

Who knows how many accounts and passwords they really have, I've been looking to move to way more complex passwords too, but I am kinda lazy on that aspect.

This, I tried a bunch of random ones and facebook said all the emails were not even being used for a account.

Exactly, that's why I think it's bullshit. I tried the same.

they aren't all from facebook, the release said paypal, facebook and university email accounts

Convenient, so they released passwords that could work on some website somewhere, or nowhere and no one would know.

 

[novasatori]

there is value in the passwords without needing to know where it came from

Assuming they are passwords and not a big list of words that the "hackers" made up.

Without knowing where they came from I call bullshit.

 

[EagleKeeper]

That list does not have any of 6 names used with family. :thumbsup:
Half of those use facebook and paypal.

 

[Taejin]

someone in my vent apparently transferred 400 euros using those passwords and emails..so yeah

Someone in your vent is a fucking asshole. You need to do something horrible to that person.

he's too busy giggling like a little girl I'm sure

 

[gaidensensei]

This is all the more reason to use an alternate email account for registration on sites, keep your real one confidential.

Could have came off from anywhere. Some random seller site, gaming, or forum that got compromised. If they had good reason they'd probably come for any of the tech sites, since they do it for the lolz.

Doubtful.
