Another good analogy might be the age old doctor/patient gag:
Doc: Er, hello, Mr. Smith. I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.
Mr. Smith: Oh 'eck! I suppose I'd better have the bad news first - get it out of the way.
Doc: Well, it's about your leg ... I'm afraid I er, well I, er, I'm afraid I removed the wrong one ...
Mr. Smith: Christ on a bike! You said there was some good news, too ...
Doc: Oh yes! Absolutely! You know your other leg? It's better now.

Here is a quick question for you all.......
Has anybody else recently received a random email from random email addresses and all the content basically contained was a password that you used to (maybe you still do!)
I had a couple of them lately that had just that, fortunately the password is no longer in use (I think, or at least not in anything current/critical!)
I am just intrigued at which site must have been hacked, but guess I will never know.

Oh dear. You've been visiting "those sites" again, haven't you?

Strangely, out of curiosity I went to see what my CodeProject password as don't think? I had ever changed it since I joined.....and guess what.....it matched, I am sure it is just coincidence as I remember a discussion on here they are hashed and salted.

Yes, those have been doing the rounds in the past year or so.
It may even have been a google hacks that took place a long time ago, with the passwords being sold on to some fool who thinks they can extort people.

Hi,
I actually think it may be a good samaritan informing you that you need to change your password. Many of the databases containing your password are available for anyone (including you) to download. They are in the public domain... you just need to know where to look.
But don't worry... Microsoft Regional Director Troy Hunt has already downloaded all of those hacked databases for you. He's managed to collect over 7 Billion hacked accounts from all over the world.
You can easily check to see if any of your e-mail addresses have been compromised by visiting his website and entering your e-mail.

P.S.
He is actually looking for someone to buy the website. So if you know anyone... contact him.

Thanks, I know all that......
It was more the fact;
1) that I had only got these emails recently, never before
and
2) curios as to which site it was
just like many of us I am sure, in the early days the same password was used everywhere for all non critical sites and forums, so it could be from anywhere. I couldn't even begin to think what some of the sites I might have been registered on all those years ago....

If you visit the site I gave you... the accounts are listed at the bottom after you enter your e-mail address. Just scroll down to the bottom.

As the link I provided states, "someone" had 12.000 files of passwords and leaked them recently.

You could reply back with the correct password, so they can at least pass out good information.
