[Wikipedia-l] EVERYONE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD

During a routine check for uploaded junk, I saw two gzipped SQL files. I 
downloaded one (the other was huge) and found that it contained my password, 
as well as other user names. This means that any of our junk uploaders (and 
junk was uploaded) could have found this file, read it, and log in as anyone, 
including a sysop (the file also tells who is a sysop). Please change your 
passwords immediately to prevent this.
