Re: Yahoo Password Breach
Yahoo accounts are notoriously easy to hack so I only use those accounts for low-security stuff. Still, it's probably worth changing passwords.

Yep, I've just received and email to my yahoo account saying that I've changed my password when I haven't. Luckily it isn't my main email address
