One man emailed 97,931 people to tell them their passwords had been stolen

From Sophos Naked Security:

One man emailed 97,931 people to tell them their passwords had been stolen

If you found a wallet lying in the street that contained thirty dollars and the owner's address would you return it?

'Atechdad' would.

Atechdad is the creator of the hacked site gallery urhack.com and he's more familiar than most with the bits of the web where personally identifiable detritus washes up from so many internet break-ins.

He is, in his own words, somebody who runs "across lots of passwords on the webs".
