I just caught the news on bbc1 about yahoo and google web based mail having passwords published online, also had a nose at the hotmail thread on here aswell.

I used bt yahoo's web based email so is there any chance its been caught aswell?

Should be fine then. This is how the 'hackers' have managed to get the passwords, they've not actually hacked into Hotmail/GMail/Yahoo.
 
The bit on the 6'o clock news with Rory Cellan-Jones soo annoyed me... "hacked". Nope. Email addresses and passwords that people gave have been published. There has been no hacking. If you didn't want them published online why did you give them out?
 
What an utter retard commenting on behalf of Sophos!

"This should be a wake-up call to Google and Microsoft to educate their users," said Ms Theriault.

Why on earth should Google and Microsoft provide basic security advise to absolute retards who get caught up in scams like this, they are providing a FREE service, it should be up to the user not to be a complete spacker and not Google or MS. Jesus that women has annoyed with that comment, Sophos should sack her on the spot.
 
Yah, there aren't many yahoo/gmail addys on the list. All spanish/german/french/italian (mainly spanish) either way. Nowt to worry about.
