LulzSec leaks 62,000 emails and passwords

Last night, Lulz Security leaked over 62,000 usernames and passwords, including some that belonged to users from Australian universities, government agencies and local councils. The leak mainly affects people that use the same password and email combination across multiple sites. This isn't good practice. Use a password manager and have different passwords guys.

LulzSec leaks 62,000 emails and passwords, also targets CIA

Another day, another LulzSec leak. This time, they've targeted the CIA and leaked a list of 62,000+ email addresses and passwords.
