It seems like every couple of months these hacks are happening and we are told to change our passwords. Yeah I know it's a pain in the ass but it's the price we pay for playing on the tubes. You don't have to change your passwords---that's your choice----but you are laying yourself bare for future trouble.

Welcome to the 21st century folks!

On edit: Best advice is to write out on paper all the sites that you hop onto that require a password. Change the passwords and make sure you don't use the same password for all sites. I personally put my passwords in a little notebook that keep at home in my desk. Yeah sure it could go missing.. but I doubt that will happen. The do have encrypted password safes on the net and they work just fine. Usually it's a pay service.

Good luck
