“Attackers behind the cracking campaign used usernames and passwords that were probably collected from a compromised database belonging to an unidentified third party, according to Jay Rossiter, Yahoo senior vice president of platforms and personalization products. Yahoo administrators are resetting passwords for all affected accounts. Administrators are also using second sign-in verification to let users resecure their accounts. World of Warcraft, vBulletin, MacRumors, and Adobe are only a tiny sampling of the sites recently hit by attacks that exposed password data. There are many more attacks that go unreported or that can’t be linked to a particular site or service.”
