Yahoo! Mail compromised, change! your! Mail! password! now!

Yahoo! is urging users of its Mail service to change their passwords to something secure and unique to the web giant – after a security breach exposed account login details to theft.

The company said that it has reset the passwords on accounts connected to what it termed a "third-party database compromise" – that database contained records on some of Yahoo!'s users. Yahoo! said the nabbed sensitive information is already being used by crooks' automated attack programs to compromise accounts and their users.
