Quote from arstechnica.com:

"Password details for Windows Live Hotmail accounts, including @hotmail.com, @msn.com, and @live.com e-mail addresses, were posted by an anonymous user over at pastebin.com, a site that allows users to paste snippets of text and then share it privately or publicly"

Wonder if my email was posted there.

I think I read that most of the emails in the list were the ones starting with "al" and "be" or something. Read the article for more information.
