FYI, Google and Yahoo! are part of this breech. I have at least one friend affected by this. It was the kick in the pants I needed to set up two factor authentication on my Yahoo and Tumblr[1] accounts. Supposedly they’ll let affected accounts know, but who knows how long that will take.
Plus changing the passwords. Just in case. Even though I've had each account with it's own unique password for years now.
[1] As it's owned by Yahoo!, so who knows if it's mixed up in this or not.
