I stumbled upon a few articles this morning regarding a breach at Yahoo.  A hacking group called D33DS Company claims to have taken 450,000 user accounts and passwords from Yahoo servers.  The hacked accounts appear to all be from Yahoo's VOIP service Yahoo! Voices.   Even though the hacker group states that their actions were intended as a "wake-up call and not as a threat," it would probably be a terrific idea to change any passwords associated with any of your Yahoo accounts, especially if you're a Yahoo Voices user.

Hope you all changed your Yahoo passwords!
