Kmart Says Hackers Breached Payment System | SecurityWeek.Com Kmart said that on Thursday, Oct. 9, its IT team detected that its payment data systems had been breached, exposing payment card data.

"On Tuesday, approximately 5 million Google accounts and their passwords were leaked on the Russian Bitcoin Security forum btcsec.com. A forum user named tvskit created a topic that included the leaked accounts and said that approximately 60% of the accounts were still valid. At this time, Google has not verified whether the leak is valid and there have been reports that this information is just a compilation of older leaks that go back a few years."
While this data may be outdated, we strongly recommend changing the password on any gmail accounts you may have. Compromised email accounts are extremely dangerous, as they may be used to gain access to other sites or services where that account is used to log in (Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, eBay, etc.) In addition, gmail accounts are the common identifier for multiple services provided by Google themselves, including Google Play, Google Shopping, Google Voice, and all Android devices.
