Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Summary: Phandroid's AndroidForums.com has been hacked. The database that powers the site was compromised and more than 1 million user account details were stolen. If you use the forum, make sure to change your password asap. 
  
 Phandroid has revealed that its Android Forums website was hacked this week using a known exploit. The data that was accessed includes usernames, e-mail addresses, hashed passwords, registration IP addresses, and other less-critical forum-related information. At the time of writing, the forum listed 1,034,235 members. 
  
 If you are one of them, you should change your password: go to your UserCP or use the Forgot your password? function. Furthermore, if you use the same e-mail address and password combination elsewhere, you should change it there as well. 
  
 In a post titled Important Notice - Security Breach, Android Forums administrator "Phases" posted the following facts about the breach: 
  
 The exploit used has been identified and resolved. The server has been further hardened and extra "just in case" actions have been taken.. and will continue to be taken. 
  
 All code that resides in the database and the file system has been thoroughly reviewed for malicious edits and uploads. 
  
 No other sites in our network appear to have been accessed (we're triple checking). 
  
 The user table of AndroidForum's database was (at a minimum) accessed. While we can't prove or disprove whether or not the data was downloaded (due to the way the data was transferred), it's completely possible.. and we've taken action assuming this is the case. 
  
 Information in the user database includes: Unique ids, usernames, emails, hashed (encoded) passwords, registration IP addresses, usergroup memberships, infraction levels, last time online, last post date, post count... as well as far less critical things like number of PMs, visitor messages, last online dates, and some vbulletin options set in your UserCP. 
  
 Immediately following the incident, all ~100 staff were notified of a pending password change - and all passwords to were changed to random strings. Almost all are back in with new passwords. Because gaining access to a staff member account could pose the biggest threat, we first moved to secure these accounts. 
  
 Phases also noted that he believes this was an e-mail harvesting attempt. In other words, whoever hacked Android Forums was looking for e-mail addresses to spam at a later time. That being said, the attack could have also been done just for kicks. Either way, Phandroid is still investigating the breach.

 Yahoo confirmed Thursday that about 400,000 user names and passwords to Yahoo and other companies were stolen on Wednesday. 
  
 A group of hackers, known as the D33D Company, posted online the user names and passwords for what appeared to be 453,492 accounts belonging to Yahoo, and also Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Comcast, MSN, SBC Global, Verizon, BellSouth and Live.com users. 
  
 The hackers wrote a brief footnote to the data dump, which has since been taken offline: “We hope that the parties responsible for managing the security of this subdomain will take this as a wake-up call, and not as a threat.” 
  
 The breach comes just one month after millions of user passwords for LinkedIn, the online social network for professionals, were exposed by hackers who breached its systems. The breaches highlight the ease with which hackers are able to infiltrate systems, even at some of the most widely used and sophisticated technology companies. 
  
 Marcus Carey, a researcher at Rapid7, a security company found that among the data were some 106,000 Gmail e-mail addresses, 55,000 Hotmail e-mail addresses and 25,000 AOL e-mail addresses. Those e-mail accounts were not hacked; instead people had used their e-mail address as user names for a Yahoo service. 
  
 Sucuri, a company that checks for malware, set up a Web site, labs.sucuri.net/?yahooleak, that lets concerned users check if their account details were compromised in the breach. 
  
 Dana Lengkeek, a spokeswoman for Yahoo, said the compromised accounts belonged to Yahoo’s Contributor Network, and that fewer than 5 percent of the passwords posted were still valid. 
  
 Chris Gaither, a spokesman for Google, said Google immediately reset passwords for vulnerable Gmail accounts. 
  
 The hackers claimed to have stolen the passwords using a hacking technique called an SQL injection, which exploits a software vulnerability. 
  
 “We are fixing the vulnerability that led to the disclosure of this data, changing the passwords of the affected Yahoo users and notifying companies whose user accounts may have been compromised,” Ms. Lengkeek said in the statement. 
  
 Mr. Carey said it was unclear whether Yahoo’s breach had been contained and noted that hackers could still be inside its systems. 
  
 Computer security experts recommended that Yahoo users consider changing their passwords to other sites, as hackers tend to test those passwords across multiple sites. 
  
 They were quick to chastise Yahoo for allowing hackers such an easy way into its systems. “Why haven’t organizations like Yahoo got it yet? SQL injection is a known attack,” said Mark Bower, a vice president at Voltage Security. “If what is stated is true, it’s utter negligence to store passwords in the clear.” |||||

Another major security breach has emerged a day after news of a Yahoo hack targeting 450,000 users, this time at an online forum for Android users. Hackers snagged user IDs, email addresses, passwords, and more in an attack on Android Forums' more than 1 million users, ZDNet reports. An administrator for the site, run by Phandroid, says the hack looked like a bid to harvest emails that could later be spammed. The admin notes the issue has been "resolved," but called on users to change their passwords. Meanwhile, it looks like the Yahoo hack hit users of other services, too. Some 106,000 Gmail, 55,000 Hotmail, and 25,000 AOL addresses were affected by the hackers, who posted usernames and passwords online, the New York Times notes. Those accounts weren't hacked, but those email addresses came into play because they were being used as Yahoo user names. Comcast, MSN, Verizon, SBC Global, BellSouth, and Live.com users were also affected. The hacking news doesn't end there: Nvidia says its own user forums were suspended last week due to hacking that gathered user credentials, Reg Hardware reports.
