Time to change your passwords!

A brand new data dump comprised of over 1,000,000,000 (yep that billion with a B) unique email addresses and passwords is floating around the interwebs.  Combine that with previous year's dumps and there are now sources for over 3,000,000,000 (yep , again, that's billion with a B) unique username and passwords.  Looking through the latest list of supposed sources for these username and passwords I only found one that I recognized as being related to our lovely little hobby: pedigreecomics.com.  It looks like someone snagged a plain text copy of their new customer signup database. So, if you use or reuse your password that you used on pedigree's site it would behoove you to CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS everywhere you used it or something similar. 

For those of a doubting mind, please check these links for info and to see if your lovely email address or username shows up in any known lists.
