Phandroid's Android Forums hacked, 1m accounts compromised
Phandroid's Android Forums announced this week that a hacker recently accessed the message board's user table along with a variety of fields including usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords, potentially affecting all of its one million-plus users.
