A post on Twitter announced that 1.2 million user credentials for logging into the Electronic Arts’ game digital distribution software are up for grabs for whoever is interested.

The post came from Underground Legion (@UGLegion) on Twitter and linked to a Pastebin file containing 1.218.229 emails and plain text passwords. The list contains email accounts from Google, Microsoft (Hotmail and Live) and Yahoo! and other webmail services.

It appears that every user in the list had registered an origin account using all four main services and in some cases variations of the same username are visible.
