Haven't been around much but this one got me sitting up and submitting an entry.

"The theft of thousands of passwords to online email services is now known to include account details for all major e-mail providers, including Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and AOL. " more on technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6863123.ece

Change your password regularly. Most of those affected (according to Channel News Asia) are in Europe. Hope this gets passed on.
