    Kotaku:Commenting Accounts Compromised — Change Your Passwords

    Just a heads up for anyone who frequents Kotaku as well as other sites...

    http://kotaku.com/5712633/commenting...your-passwords

    Our user databases appear to have been compromised. The passwords were encrypted. But simple ones may be vulnerable to a brute-force attack. You should change your Gawker password and on any other sites on which you've used the same passwords.

    We're deeply embarrassed by this breach. We should not be in the position of relying on the goodwill of the hackers who identified the weakness in our systems. And, yes, the irony is not lost on us. For tips on creating strong passwords, see this post on Lifehacker.

    To change your password on Gawker, click your username at the top of the page and choose the "Password" link towards the middle of the next page.

    Thanks for the head up. I personally don't but a friend of mine does and I have forwarded this to her.

    Thanks again

    My heart and soul hurt for your lost presence in my life.
