If you’re a Star Wars fan…I mean a huge fan, you probably use fan sites. If that is the case you may want to check and see if your password has been one of the 21,000 that were compromised when the fan site SWGalaxies.net was hacked ostensibly by supporters of Lulzsec/Antisec.
From Games Beat:
A Star Wars Galaxies fan site got hacked today and thieves stole 21,000 email addresses and 23,000 passwords. And judging from an analysis of the passwords, most of them were weak.
The site SWGalaxies.net is a fan site owned by LFNetwork, an independently owned network of LucasArts fan sites. Hackers from the group ObSec, a small hacking collective with apparent sympathies for the LulzSec and AntiSec hacktivist groups, broke into the site’s security and posted the addresses and passwords on the web.
I guess it would be safe to assume that the Antisec folks are Trekkies then?

Trekkies? Naw. Harry Potter. Because they fell asleep during LOTR.
