Neowin is reporting that thousands of Microsoft Hotmail passwords have been leaked. Perhaps millions.

A pastebin posting has been found that contains over 10,000 Hotmail accounts and passwords listed alphabetically from A to B. Which seems to suggests that there may be more lists out there.

According to Neowin the accounts appear to be valid.

If you have a Microsoft Hotmail email account even if you just use it to collect junk mail, get in there and change the password, immediately.

Then consider moving to gmail. ;-)
