GameChap did a video about this earlier. It might be worth watching if you're unaware of the current situation.

So, today, some fool just went and stole account info from the Mojang auth servers. There's around 1.8k accounts' details on pastie currently that can be taken by any old fool who browses twitter. The perpetrator calls himself "PutinSkquad" or "lelddos" and his twitter can be found here:

https://twitter.com/lelddos

 (Don't steal ******* account information from the pastie thing or I'll eat your soul).

 

This guy claims he will release over 500,000 accounts once his twitter page reaches 1,000 followers. That means that you have an 0.34% chance of your account being stolen and credentials made publicly available. I've changed my password already, and so should you.

Their voices makes me want to punch walls.

 

But yeah, changed mine as well.

 

EDIT: seems like it might be a fluke
