- The Verge, Tuesday, November 10, 2015 5:19 AM
Comcast reset the email passwords for about 200,000 of its email users over the weekend. The company changed the passwords after a database of customer information was listed for sale on a dark web marketplace for $1000. The database included 590,000 accounts, most of which were inactive. Only 200,000 accounts from the list were still live. The company has not explained how the data was leaked.
