Yahoo! Voice hacked; 4L+ login credentials dumped online
Hackers belonging to a hacking collective called D33Ds Company have retrieved and dumped login details of more than 400,000+ user accounts in plain text. A post on Trustedsec stated, "The passwords contained a wide variety of email addresses including those from yahoo.com, gmail.com, aol.com, and much more."


Interestingly, the post adds that the affected website is a sub-domain of yahoo.com, and that the compromised server may be Yahoo! Voice a.k.a Associated Content. "The affected website was only named as a sub-domain of yahoo.com. However, digging through and searching for the hostname, the attacker forgot to remove the hostname “dbb1.ac.bf1.yahoo.com” (credit to Mubix for the hostname find)," Trustedsec wrote. The most worrisome bit here is that the passwords that were stored were completely unencrypted, and as you're reading this, 400,000+ login credentials (comprising usernames and passwords) have been exposed.
