Yahoo hacked, 450,000 passwords posted online
(CNN) -- Hackers posted online what they say is login information for more than 450,000 Yahoo users.
The hack, which of course was conducted anonymously, was meant to be a warning, according to the Web page where the documents were dumped.
"We hope that the parties responsible for managing the security of this subdomain will take this as a wake-up call, and not as a threat," a note on the page said. "There have been many security holes exploited in Web servers belonging to Yahoo! Inc. that have caused far greater damage than our disclosure. Please do not take them lightly."
The statement adds that the "subdomain and vulnerable parameters" that were used to hack the site were not posted "to avoid further damage."
The Web page where the data was dumped was offline for much of Thursday morning.
Yahoo confirmed on Thursday the hack of Yahoo Voices, part of its news service, saying "approximately 400,000" usernames and passwords were stolen. But in a written statement, the company said that less than 5% of the breached Yahoo accounts had valid passwords.Heath Reviewed by Heath on .

Passwords stored in plain text? No wonder Yahoo is dying.

Stay away from this thread if you want the list of passwords which were hacked. This is not a cracking/hacking forum.
