New dump of over 4.7 million email addresses and passwords

I just received a notification from http://ift.tt/1aA7Nq6 that 4,788,657 Gmail/password combos were publicly released.

I found my address in the dump. The password was real, but:

1. It was not one I had ever used for Gmail
2. It was one I haven't used in a very long time

Edit: To clarify point 1 above, these are not Gmail accounts. They are accounts for which a Gmail address was used as the username on another site. Of course, anyone who used the same password on that site and for their Gmail account would have problems.
