Hackers release 13,000 passwords stolen from popular shopping and
entertainment sites

Given the size of the user base for major shopping and entertainment
websites like Amazon.com, Walmart, Xbox Live, and Hulu, the odds that
your account was compromised by the antics of hacker group Anonymous
are very low. They published 13,000 user names and passwords in a huge
text file on Friday; some of the web sites they hit have memberships
that run into the tens of millions, making the odds of any individual
user being affected at well under one percent. Still, as DailyDot
advises, now might be a good time to change your password if you have
accounts with any of these websites:

Oh, yes it does. Everyone who supports groups like Anonymous is
providing support and cover for all of its gremlins. Those who pride
themselves as “hacktivists” and “social justice warriors” —
totalitarian, arrogant, fallible, and wantonly destructive as they
might already be — maintain an environment from which petty thieves
and vandals can easily operate.
