amazon, that's new. the rest everyone already know better and i hope nobody has an active credit card associated with, but only prepaid/temp ones. but amazon, that's scary.

If only 13k accounts are listed, that means they didn't directly crack one of these services. They probably got a list of emails and passwords from a smaller site, tried them out on other services, and posted the ones that worked. So the moral is: don't reuse passwords, especially on sites that have your credit card info!
