JournalPodcaster's Journal:Pirate Bay cracked. 1.6 million accounts stolen.

English language coverage is now available of Computer Sweden's recent report that the infamous Pirate Bay website was cracked by a group known as 'Arga Unga Hackare' ('Angry Young Hackers'), the same group that previously defaced a government site in support of the file sharing portal.

The usernames and passwords of 1.6 million users of the popular P2P portal were compromised in the attack, however the site owners are claiming that most of the data was protected by cryptography but that users should change their passwords anyway.
