PSA: Gamigo 11 Million Passwords Hacked

See Ars article, also Forbes, the Forbes article links http://pwnedlist.com/ for checking if your email has been leaked.

I haven't heard about http://pwnedlist.com/ before, but shows as green with McAfee.

For more on Password Cracking, or Hacking, and what you should do see "Lessons Learned from Cracking 2 Million LinkedIn Passwords" and/or Steve Gibson's Haystacks & Needles (Understanding Passwords).

But if you have a Gamigo account, you should change your password, the Steve Gibson link above provides good advice on passwords.
