It was on the news yesterday here in belgium. It seems that the phishers send you and e-mail in the name of your operator, Hotmail/yahoo/etc., telling that they’ve lost your personal information, and if you could please send your account, pass, and creditcard to them.

If you didn’t get that mail, or you didn’t reply, you’re safe. If you got that mail and replied however, you should immediately change your pass.

best regards,
