They have released database in Plain text and which is of size 103 MB (108,763,323 bytes). They have compressed using format 7z and file available for download is 28.7 MB (30,108,353 bytes).

This list includes thousands of Yandex login passwords also. While according to Google and Yandex representative, the list is some old and might be collected using Phishing pages. As per Google there might be chance of hack between data transmission between two servers containing authentication records. They are working to fix it and make it more secure.

But, what of those, who have been compromised.

Suggested steps are:

1. Keep your password strong enough.
2. Do not enter your password anywhere else. Even some mail client or mobile application claiming that they serve mail might store and sent your password online.
3. Enable two step authentication.
4. Do not disclose your password during any online chat (asking for support/help) etc.

Thank you for reading.

Welcome to New Google Plus

Hello Everyone,

Just before someday, I have updated you about the New Layout of Facebook. Today I am updating you about another Top most used Social Network from Google.

No, don't think about Orkut (you still remember), it is Google Plus. Google has recently changed Google Plus to Multi-column Layout. There is one Main Navigation Column as previous version but It is not Collapsible and HTML5. Google Plus is now using HTML5 and CSS3  which bring a HD display and many interesting features.

New Features:

• Main Navigation is Collapses when you Click on home Button. 
• Live Feeds are filtered according to the category you select with Post-Back which is Static when Page is Scrolled Down (Fixed position).
• Multi-Column Layout to fit Maximum content.
• New Improved Share Box with Ajax Popup. Just Zooms in Click, Lovely.

These are just some of the Graphical or UI Changes that are visible. Many more great Features are added on Events, Posting and other Security.

Hope you will switch to Google Plus if you are still Hanging on Facebook. By the way, I am also there, you can add me on your Circle, My Profile is +John Bhatt 

All the Best and enjoy.
