0429/2014 A recent surge of spam for AOL e-mail users is related to a security breach-SecurityManagement

A recent surge of spam for AOL e-mail users is related to a security breach, and AOL is asking all users to reset their passwords, PC World reports. “Hackers made off with e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, encrypted passwords, and encrypted security questions. AOL says it's still investigating the matter in conjunction with federal employees,” according to the article. The breach affected roughly 2 percent of AOL’s users, but no financial information, encryption of passwords, or security questions appear to have been compromised so far.
