Passwords Stolen For Days in Korea

Apparently computer passwords have benn stolen from MSN accounts across Korea the past few days:

Password-stealing software planted by hackers was active on Microsoft’s popular MSN Web site in South Korea for days before the world’s largest software company learned about the break-in and removed the computer code.

Police investigators and Microsoft specialists are continuing to search for clues to the culprits behind this week’s high-profile computer break-in. More details emerged Friday about the hacking, which targeted subscribers of an online game called “Lineage” that is popular in Asia.

So the hackers stole a bunch of Lineage passwords. In Korea this is cause for a national emergency. I would stay away from internet cafes here for a few days because there are going to be some pissed off people in them when they learn there leveled up character they have spent months working on has been erased or stolen.
