Yahoo Passwords Hacked and Posted

Not much news here, but I did take a look at passwords people used. The usual smattering of "password" but I feel sorry for those that used passwords like these:
@fl!pm0de@
Mn1!tTLs
cnw2m$w!
Those are normally great passwords, but not when whoever stores it exposes them in cleartext or doesn't encrypt them well. When that happens, it doesn't matter if your password was "password" or "k#-93ijdu8^43".
edit: I love these, people have funny passwords:
gofuqurself
fuckuasshole
FUCKOFF
fuckyouall
fuckthi5 <- woah SECURE one!
monkeyfuck
nastybitch
fatbitchwhore
bitchcakes
0bitch0

Haha, three people had the password "mephisto" and one had "mephisto" and some numbers after it.

Hmmm... so it's not just Yahoo!, but the Yahoo! service called "Voices." That's kind of an important distinction to make.

Yes and no... the article says "Affected accounts appear to belong" with the critical word being "appear". Rather than assume my info wasn't in it, I checked it even though I had never heard of Yahoo Voices" until now. But as a user of Fantasy Football and an old email account there I wasn't satisfied with rejecting the possibility of account cross-pollination within Yahoo.
