In the latest in a string of password leaks, a hacker or hacking group calling itself “DD3Ds Company” leaked what it said were plaintext passwords for 453,492 Yahoo accounts, calling the attack a “wake-up call,” not a threat, according to an article from Information Week.
DD3Ds also released more than 2,700 database table or column names, as well as 298 MySQL variables. The groups said it obtained the data by executing a SQL injection attack against Yahoo Voice, a Yahoo subdomain purchased in 2010 from online call company Associated Content, the article says.
