Security Alert: Update on the CyberVor Attack

Hold Security, the company that identified the 1.2 billion password cache, has dubbed the Russian gang that amassed the data "CyberVor".  It has not identified any of the websites that have been compromised, and I am not aware of any sites that have made announcements at this time.

Hold will be offering an identity protection service soon.  It will tell you if your information appears in any of the records obtained from the CyberVor attack, and it will monitor your information for 30 days as new information becomes available.  You can preregister for this service here.
