I just came across this blog post.. I hadnt heard of this yet, my account is safe anyway..
In the past few days, pastebin.com has been cited in a wide variety of high-profile news sources regarding a “leak” of email account passwords. This brought a huge surge in visitors, and ensuring I kept the server functioning took up all my available spare time. I wrote a short blog entry which attracted a lot of comments. Things are a little calmer now, so I’m writing this longer post to explain what happened.
