Here we go again. A group of hackers known as "DerpTrolling", who over the weekend had already claimed a DDOS attack to Blizzard, has now claimed to be in possession of a total of 7 million username/email and password for online services extremely popular, such as Windows Live (which also includes Xbox Live), PlayStation Network, Facebook, Twitter, and Origin and 2 k Games.

To show that star bluffing, the Group has released a short list (not linkeremo here given the delicacy of the information) of 5000 email and password for PSN and Windows Live, which have actually been real, explaining that that is only a fraction of all information in their possession.

Needless to say, as always in these cases, the first thing you should do to get safe is to change our passwords: on Live on PSN, on Facebook, and so on. If you don't, you run the risk that when you feel safe someone takes over your account, making you regret not to be spoken before. And this also applies to those who have a security system of multi-factor authentication or asking for confirmation via sms or email when someone accesses from an unknown IP to your system, because it happened in the past that someone could circumvent even these systems.

And, anyway, it is always the recommendation not to use the same password on multiple systems, so that if someone discovers on a system can access all your other account.
