13,000 Passwords, Usernames Leaked For Major Commerce, Porn Sites

The Daily Dot reports that yesterday a "group claiming affiliation with the loose hacker collective Anonymous released a document containing approximately 13,000 username-and-password combinations along with credit card numbers and expiration dates." Most of the sites listed are distinctly NSFW, among other places, but the list includes some of the largest retailers, too, notably Amazon and Wal-Mart.

Replacing the word "and" with commas pointless, annoying.

Fake, clickbait scam

Took me less then 5 minutes to figure out this is a click bait scam using collections of older password leaks and money for clicks URL referers. And the 'news' are eating it raw, generating fear and helping it spread. Which is exactly how this scam was designed to work.
