[ Edited ]

Some Reports are now indicating that there may have been more than 30,000 Details were Posted Online, with some which - the Usernames and Passwords - appeared to be Un-Used, Old or Fake.

 

If you have either a Hotmail, Yahoo!, A.O.L. and/or G-Mail Accounts, and have not changed your Password yet, then please do so as soon as possible, or Register for a New Account, as soon as possible.  Before doing so, please make sure your computer in Threat-free by Running Full System Scan(s), dis-connected from the Internet, making sure you Update before dis-connecting.  Thank-You.
