(It's a rather large list. Good job I have a local copy.)

Almost as entertaining as this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1990795,00.html
(French PM came to enquire about joining the UK circa Suez. Boy, that would have made a cracking alt-history nov. and no bugger would have believed a word.)

Accident!

Looks like a SQL injection that's then been John'd.

Hm. If it's been phished, then the little dears have typed their details into a bogus form or had the browser do it ditto. The 'fool the auto-fill-in' exploit was circulating the other week.

Large list of email address:password pairs, allegedly culled from a Myspace phishing expedition. The enterprising miscreant would test those against the relevant email provider, Paypal, Amazon et al. On the off-chance that phurther phun could be had.

I don't do Myspac meself, but some on my FL do and it seemed appropriate to warn them.

Better not to have a MySpace account....
