I don?t know about talktalk but I heard a rumour on the grapevine this is
a list from an old compromise that someone has been selling again.

 

So may not a new hack and may even have originated before the takeover of
Yahoo by BT, but that?s speculation on my part.

 

You have obscured the domain names so I can?t comment on stuff that might
have been added from a later era.

 

Kind regards

 

 

John

Hi, 

 

The format is also similar to the spams being sent "in my name", as a result
of what appears to be a huge fail of naive basic security protocol at Yahoo!

See: http://www.heyrick.co.uk/blog/index.php?diary 150929

and: http://www.heyrick.co.uk/blog/index.php?diary 150930

 

 

Best wishes, 

 

Rick.
