Wikipedia Leaks Some Users' Passwords
JJ Budion writes "If you've signed up for an account on Wikipedia.org, you may want to check this page to make sure you're not on there. It seems certain users with identical password hashes can find other user names with the same password, and Wikipedia (despite being alerted) has done nothing about the problem for the last year. A good (although slightly inflammatory) description of the problem can be found here. This is probably a good occasion to remember to use strong passwords (apparently only users with common passwords, like dictionary words, are affected)."
