Passwords

Do you have an account on one of VerticalScope’s domains? You may want to change your passwords.
Another 45M username/passwords leaked from 1000 web forums.
This happened before LinkedIn was breached and before the TeamViewer hack/breach.
From the story, this link to Leaked Source. It asks you to enter your email, usernames or other identifying data into the search field and checks if it is in their database of cracks. If it is, that account has probably been compromised depending on the type of encryption used in the sites database.
Don’t use the same password on different sites, try not to use the same username. Personally, I use Firefox’s browser password manager with the master password feature turned on and I have set Firefox to delete cookies when it shuts down. That way I only have to remember the master password and the rest are encrypted. Chrome and Explorer do not encrypt their remembered passwords, so anyone with access to the filesystem can see them.

Good Samaritan assaulted on SkyTrain.

On June 9, a man noticed three men in their 20s board the train at Sperling and call out to a female passenger that they were going to follow her home.
One of the men “made jokes to his two friends about raping her. The first man stood up and sat down near this suspect, telling him to leave the woman alone,” said a Transit Police news release. “Suspect 1 became aggressive, swearing at the man and threatening to follow him off the train.”
