Hackers on Sunday night broke into Gawker Media’s servers and grabbed the login credentials for millions of readers who leave comments on sites such as Gawker, Lifehacker, Jezebel, and Kotaku. Hackers were able to grab the e-mail addresses and password information for nearly 1.3 million Gawker users. Most of the passwords were encrypted, but more than 200,000 registered commenter accounts were cracked. The hackers were also able to release a list of Gawker employee user names and passwords for Gawker founder Nick Denton.”]
