Objet: Password bootleggers

Two websites have surfaced in recent days,
http://www.journalpassword.com and http://www.passfans.com, that
present login and password combinations that are good for a
variety of University libraries around the world.  The point is
that with such login (often the login to the proxy server), a
reader can then navigate to whatever proprietary and subscription
databases, e-journals, and the like the given University has to
offer.  I am aware of institutions working to make sure that any
of their own information posted on these sites is invalidated
immediately, but obviously libraries and publishers will both be
concerned.  Just at the moment journalpassword.com seems
disabled, but passfans.com is up and running, though it seems to
hide the login/password information behind a thin screen of
requiring visitors to register.
