So, um, it's probably a good day to change your passwords. For everything. Anonymous made good on a promise to release about 13,000 passwords and credit card information for a couple dozen sites — including Amazon, Walmart, Hulu Plus, Playboy, and Xbox Live, among many others.
As the Daily Dot notes, some people have been hesitant to call this an official Anonymous hack. But since the organization is decentralized and leaderless, it's hard to say that anything is or isn't done in the name of Anonymous. You could right now go take a dump on your neighbor's porch and claim that you were part of Anonymous and no one would stop you. Well, your neighbor might try to stop you. But you get the point.
The Daily Dot also has a pretty comprehensive list of sites that you might want to change your passwords for. Also, be on the look-out for any weird charges. Just 13,000 usernames and passwords isn't a huge hack, but they targeted plenty of sites that you probably use. Oh and lots of porn sites that you may want to just let your... friend... know about...
