Default Is my account secure?

I just saw that my account name and characters names associated with it, as well as presumably the majority of the server population's information have been broadcast to the world.

What should I do to secure my account. Can I change the name?

Not the name, but you can change the password ^^

Looks like that list is a few months old. Bad news, your account name is compromised. Good news, go change your password.

Was it passwords as well? Was it a complete list?

It's just account names, but if you are the sort of person who uses simple passwords, you'll want to change them (and make them stronger).

26,000 account names + character on the account, no password.

Looks like the list was just compiled by parsing /who entries from the leaker's logs. I say this because there are duplicate entries with different levels listed, which indicates to me that it was likely a parse and not ripped from a database.

Doubt he has anyone's password, but it never hurts to be safe.

People know your account name now. If you were silly enough to use your real name or other RL information in your account name, that information is now public. If someone wants to log in to your account, they need both the user name and password and they only have half of it. Unless you were silly enough to reuse a password from your guild forums, or very simple/easy to guess one (the one vaguely realistic point of Hackers the movie - would your holiness care to change your password?), you should be OK.

That being said, this is a dick move by Greengrocer.
