Last I heard, a guestimate of 10,028 accounts were listed between user names
[email protected] and [email protected], and that was taken from a
shortlist posted to pastebin.com.

I also heard that there is a ~30,000 list of Yahoo and AOL usernames and
passwords.  And another ~20,000 of Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, Google and other
service providers accounts. Google also claims to have found yet another
list.

Has anyone heard anything else?
