HaxXors!

For those of you that didn't see my Facebook on this already Gawker and all of their sites were hacked.

For those that don't know Gawker runs the following sites; Kotaku, Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, i09, Jalopnik, Fleshbot, Gizmodo, and LifeHacker. Almost all of Gawkers login information was compromised and released on bittorrent. If you had a login for any of those sites this means if you use the same login here or anywhere else on the web thousands of people now have your password. Change any account with that password and avoid using a shared password on any Gawker site until everything is settled and they fix their security. Some people are already reporting their email accounts and other accounts being compromised and sending out tons of spam etc.... There is a list of all compromised accounts out on Google Docs if you want to verify.

Otherwise just be safe and make sure you always use strong passwords and don't share password for super important sites like your bank or anywhere with your credit card info. An article with a lot more in depth information can be found here.
