It's real, the database was hacked last year... If you haven't changed your password since then, it might be wise to do so now.
I find it a little weird you didn't know about this, it was the hot topic for weeks when it happened
They should be, since no data leak was reported for over a year.
There is already a thread about this. The conclusion of that thread was, they are most likely selling the database from former hacks. The forum administrator confirmed that the most recent attack only led to a shutdown of the site, and not data theft. Still, I would change my password every now and then, for security's sake.
this is indeed a good idear, be carefull tough: some users have the tendancy to look at the security log for password changes, and accuse people of using a bought account when they try to do business using an account that had a recently changed password... It's sad but true
