According to the article:-
Monday AOL's security team, said in a security update that third-party digital forensic investigators hired by the company found "unauthorized access to information regarding a significant number of user accounts." The information accessed by attackers "included AOL users' email addresses, postal addresses, address book contact information, encrypted passwords, and encrypted answers to security questions that we ask when a user resets his or her password, as well as certain employee information."
The breach is a further reminder that people should never reuse the same password on multiple sites.
