一场虚惊：2.7亿

据国外媒体CNET报道，本周初，国外一个黑客论坛上爆出了数以亿份的邮箱账号及其密码。日前，被波及到的三大邮箱服务供应商雅虎、谷歌和Mail.Ru回应表示，绝大部分的被爆出的账号和密码并不匹配，所以用户并不用担心它们。
雅虎、谷歌和Mail.Ru表示，用户的邮箱账号受到危害的可能性微乎其微。这三家公司翻查了被曝出来的2.723亿份所谓的“邮箱密码”，发现它们和所对应的邮箱账号根本没有联系。
虽然对邮箱用户来说，这应该是个好消息，但发现了这些账号密码的研究者表示，这些“密码”或许仍归属于用户其它的网络账号，许多用户常常会用他们的邮箱去直接登录这些账号。
但对于那些一直在担心自己邮箱账号信息是否被泄露了的网友，你们现在终于可以放下那颗悬着的心了。
雅虎在一份声明中说道：“我们的安全团队已经做了调查，我们不认同相关媒体的此前的断言，我们不认为我们（雅虎邮箱）的用户正面临任何严重的危险。”
俄罗斯目前最流行的电子邮件服务Mail.Ru则披露得更具体，称公司发现，在目前所谓的“泄漏账号密码”中，仅仅只有0.018%的密码是与它们的邮箱账号配套的。
Mail.Ru的一位新闻发言人Madina Tayupova在一封回应邮件中表示：“这些被泄漏出来的数据库，看起来非常像是一些借由老式数据转储器所暂存的数据，汇编而成的。黑客通过入侵那些需要用户去输入他们邮箱账号来登陆的网络服务，收集到了这些信息。”
谷歌也发现，只有极小比例的账号被波及到了。
“在被披露出的邮箱账号信息中，超过98%的谷歌邮箱账号证书被证实是假的。就像我们一贯的做法，我们对那些可能被影响到的用户，提高了他们登陆安全保护的级别。”谷歌公司的一位代表在一份声明中这样说道。
美国网络安全公司Hold Security创始人兼首席信息安全官亚历克斯·霍尔登( Alex Holden)在得知有家黑客论坛的俄语成员，吹嘘他收集了一大堆网络账号证书后，立马在随后发现了这些被藏匿起来的账号登陆信息。根据霍尔登的说法，这名黑客愿意交出这些数据，来为这家黑客论坛博一个好名声。
但霍尔登仍认为，我们有理由应该对他所发现的这些账号及密码更为关心。
在泄漏名单中的出现的那些密码或许不属于用户的邮箱账号，但它很可能会属于用户“Twitter、Facebook或是其它五花八门的网络账号”，霍尔登担心地说道。
被此次事件波及到的其它邮箱服务供应商还包括微软的Hotmail。截至发稿前，微软公司还未就此事件置评。
