LiveJournal password breach
All:
This isn't as far as I can tell getting publicitly yet, but I just got a
bitcoin extortion spam with my LiveJournal (don't start :) ) password in
cleartext. They appear to have had a breach in the last few days.
If you have an LJ account you may want to log in and change your password
immediately.
