#Anonymous dumps 13,000 passwords (updated)

Updates: See this post and this article for debunking that these are new leaks.

Julie Bort reports:

The hacker group known as Anonymous released a file on Friday containing about 13,000 passwords, it claims.

      Not my great work – it was Lee’s (@Cyber_War_News) great work de-bunking the claims. Now if we could just get MSM journos to attempt to verify before they blindly repeat claims….
