A list of user names and passwords for Comcast customers sat unprotected on the Web for two months. Comcast says it did not believe the information came from inside the company. Comcast is freezing the e-mail accounts of the customers on the list and contacting them to educate them about using safe passwords. Comcast spokeswoman: “We have no reason to believe this came from Comcast. It looks like a phishing or related type of schemes not to blame. Comcast is urging customers to download McAfee Security Suite.”]
