Out of curiosity I was google searching my email address and I found this:

http://pastebin.com/0SFcKam7

This is what looks like the password database that holds every user, their email address, and password albiet hashed or encrypted. I'm assuming a hacker got in and copied it to pastebin.com, which is a common place for hackers to dump data anonymously.

The danger is thankfully not too high... the passwords are after all encrypted, but our email address are out there in the public now.

Looks like an older list, even before my time on here, checking through what's there. I've had our abuse team contact out and ask for that to be taken down. The passwords are encrypted, but as always I recommend people change their passwords regularly. Thanks for reporting you found it, though, good catch.
