According to the news, a Yahoo! subdomain has been breached by a team of hackers, resulting in about 450K accounts having their credentials published on-line.
I know that 450,000 isn't such a large number, but better be safe than sorry...

Thanks for the info. A frequent password change is good for all. Though I could do without having to do it every 90 days at work.
I read the article, and I see many people still use "12345" ("That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!" -- Spaceballs) or "password" as their passwords. Seriously, people? I guess I'm only surprised that I'm surprised.

Of course "12345" is stupid.
I use "54321"; that's much more clever!
