Microsoft admits to “several thousand” Hotmail passwords being stolen

Computerworld has reported that MS admitted that thousands of passwords were, in fact stolen and posted on the internet. However, they maintain it’s not a situation of their being hacked, but a massive phishing attack. While this is somewhat good news (assuming you believe them), the current best advice still  is to change your password ASAP if you have an account on any of the domains affected.
