There were a few articles in Indian magazines/newspapers about it. In fac=
t, I
remember posting a news article on a person from Bangalore accusing a
CyberCafe in Residency Road of stealing his password on the mailing list
'itdiscus'.

There was another article (I guess from Economic Times) I posted in 'itdi=
scus'
which discussed the ways how they steal the passwords too.

So, I believe it is a reality and everybody needs to be cautious (till yo=
