Hackers Grab and Expose 453,000 Yahoo Login Details
Hacking collective D33Ds Company has posted login details for more than 453,000 user accounts that it claims to have retrieved in plaintext from an unconfirmed service on Yahoo. Ars Technica is reporting that the hackers used a union-based SQL injection to penetrate a Yahoo subdomain-a technique which, according to Ars, "preys on poorly secured web applications that don't properly scrutinize text entered into search boxes and other user input fields".
