change your password pronto!!!!

there has been some sort of hack attack... and users are being advised to change passwords for fear they may have fallen into "bad hands".....

this is my "Public Service Announcement" for today... my good deed for the say since there were no old ladies to help across the road....

"PayPal too? "

That's ok... It is your address, date of birth things pertaining to identity theft more than access to your money

I suppose if you have the same password, it may be worth it

Thanks for the reminder

I don't know the full details either but I was told that if I use the same password on eBay as I do for other things then I should change those passwords too.

The recommendation is if you use the same password for other online services....change them all

I change my passwords every year. It's my date if birth followed by my age so easy to remember and it changes annually. Genious eh ?
