Re: Yahoo breach

Even more interesting (at least in my opinion):

In the same week, another 1 million accounts were compromised: "Over 1
million user credentials compromised in Android Forums hack,"
http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Over-1-million-user-credentials-compromised-in-Android-Forums-hack-1640164.html.

... and another 400,000: "Formspring question-and-answer platform
compromised," 
http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Formspring-question-and-answer-platform-compromised-1636642.html.

Finally, a non-compromised site is experiencing break-ins, presumably
from username stemming attacks and password reuse: "Thousands of GMX
accounts compromised to send spam,"
