really?
oh dear
Yikes.
Huh. I just put in my email address and it gave me back the first two letters of my password, and I'm not even Russian.
Whelp. Guess it's time to freak out. (and reset my passwords)
When did Google start to storage password in plain text?
Hmm.. yes, one of my old gmails is on there but an old password.
My guess is this is a huge list of @gmails brute forced from elsewhere? The first two letters of my password on that site are a few years old.
Possibly intercepted before it got to google servers.
People using gmail address on forums and the same password.
Yeah one of mine is listed and it's an old password that I had known to be compromised several years ago.
Google apps?
This rocks!
How did you check if your email is on the list?
Somehow that isleaked.com link is fishy.
So anyone got the whole dump with the passwords?
I have. Will post an article on Joodle.nl soon (expect within an hour) with the Email addresses (Passwords removed of course)
They may got some pwds from forums, and just filter those ones with gmail addresses...
shows a very old password of my gmail account, not used for years...
That is interesting...
I just get 502 bad gateway.
How about 2-step verification if it enabled?
I just downloaded the database. Its a .txt file of 151MB with 4929090 usernames and passwords. Asked a friend who has his email addr in this list and he said its a very old password he used once upon a time.
Got a rough date for when he did?

Just asked him. Dec - 2012
It must be some android based exploit which took it .
activate 2-step verification people if you haven't already.
Happy to see mine isn't in the list. I have 2-step verification on anyway, so wouldn't be a huge deal if it was in there.
I would not risk testing my email address on such websites.
