Everything You Need to Know About the Massive Russian Hack (I'd advise all to change your passwords)

[WillowTree]

19. "I'm probably going to start using my banks bill pay system".......That's a start, but.......

.......you still need to change passwords for lots of things. I pay all of my bills from my bank's bill pay page, but don't forget that sites like utilities (phone, gas electric, water, cable etc) all still have personal info that could be useful to hackers (address & phone #, for instance) and sites where you shop with any regularity might have credit card information (like Amazon or stores where you buy online). Also the sites for any of your credit cards themselves. Even if you actually pay your credit card bill from your bank's site, the card issuer still has your information on their site, so you need to change those, too. And PayPal has your card, and maybe bank account, information, too. Ebay, too.

I use a password manager (be sure to use one that allows you to export your PW data as a backup.....NOT TO THE CLOUD) and I have a list of the sites that I need to change passwords for on occasions like this so I don't forget anything. That way I can just blow through and change the passwords on the sites and update the password manager and it doesn't take a significant amount of time.
