"Because password reuse is so prevalent
?carey said he analyzed the leak -- which was initially posted on the file-sharing site pastebin -- and found that yahoo voices contributors signed up using a variety of accounts: about 140,000 yahoo addresses, more than 100,000 gmail addresses, more than 55,000 hotmail addresses and more than 25,000 aol addresses.
"because password reuse is so prevalent, there's a high likelihood that thousands of people are going to be compromised because of this," he told the huffington post.
a hacker group called d33d claimed responsibility for the disclosure of usernames and passwords belonging to yahoo voices' users.
"we hope that the parties responsible for managing the security of this subdomain will take this as a wake-up call, and not as a threat," the group said in a statement. "there have been many security holes exploited in web servers belonging to yahoo inc. that have caused far greater damage than our disclosure. please do not take them lightly."
the hackers said they breached the server using a technique known as an sql injection, which allows them to steal the contents of vulnerable databases by entering commands.
"it would be equivalent of tricking an atm into giving you more money than you have in your account," carey said. |
