Moments after the release I accessed multiple accounts on both gmail, hotmail, yahoo and facebook using password and usernames found in these files. Impressivly I got a 'hit' every two-three accounts which I tried - which goes to suggest that the 'reuse' section of this article indeed are correct. That said, I want to recognize Facebook's impressive and fast response to this release - where they 'disabled' all accounts linked to emails in these text files and made them go though a bunch of tests e.g. when is our birthday, what is the name of this friend.. etc. Anyway, scary stuff, and it goes to show that even with the most secure password - you are not safer than the root user (gawker) / site security (Sony).
