Holy crap that is a ton of user info. I really hope I'm not affected by this although that seems unlikely. It would be helpful to know which sites were hit, but given the sheer amount of credentials and affected sites, its likely many of the sites i and other people use are affected. I hope nothing too bad comes of this and that the FBI catches who did this.

Assuming each credential is unique (which is very unlikely) that would mean one out of every six people on the planet are affected.

Frightening.
