So , um , it ’s probably a in effect sidereal day to change your password . For everything . Anonymous ( or some tyke claim to be part of Anonymous ) supposedly made unspoilt on a promise to release about 13,000 passwords and credit card information for a couple XII sites — including Amazon , Walmart , Hulu Plus , Playboy , and Xbox Live , among many others .
Update : Many people are questioning the genuineness of this hack . It looks more and more like it was some dumb troll who want attention using old recognition card leak . True or not , change your passwords for everything just to be secure . Better yet , throw all your devices that connect to the internet into a river and go start a utopian community or something . I tell you , you ’ll probably be happy . Just stay away from the Kool - Aid .
As theDaily Dotnotes , some people have been hesitating to call this an prescribed Anonymous drudge . But since the organisation is decentralized and leaderless , it ’s heavy to say that anything is or is n’t done in the name of Anonymous . You could right now go take a rubbish dump on your neighbor ’s porch and take that you were part of Anonymous and no one would bar you . Well , your neighbor might attempt to stop you . But you get the point .
The Daily Dot also has a pretty comprehensive inclination of sites that you might need to change your passwords for . Also , be on the look - out for any weird heraldic bearing . Just 13,000 usernames and passwords is n’t a Brobdingnagian machine politician , but they aim plenty of internet site that you probably use . Oh and pot of porn sites that you may want to just have your … friend … know about … [ Daily Dot ]
