Hotmail, Live, and MSN Account Passwords Posted Online

Hotmail, MSN, Live account info exposed snapvoip.blogspot.com
An anonymous user has posted thousands of @hotmail.com, @live.com and @hotmail.com account passwords online at a site pastebin.com, (the post already removed) supposedly there were over 10,028 account user names and passwords that were exposed beginning with user names that started with "ar" and ended with "bl".
Microsoft has acknowledged the breach and is investigating the incident.
But what ever is your user name, please just change your password. Even though the list id off line, it might be in the hands of many people who might be using the accounts for, from spamming to phishing scams.
Make it habit to change your account passwords all online accounts, be they email, social networking or your bank!
