You all probably already know about or have heard about this but,
Russian hackers have gotten billions of passwords & info from all
sorts of places in the US, including small web sites like us, here is
the article & a link to A "How do I know" & "How do I stop" link.
If the link does not work for you for whatever reason just, do a
Yahoo, Google Whatever search for Russian hackers. This link is to Yahoo.
Just trying to help...

Just wonderful, NOT !!!
Make sure you have a 12 to 16 numbers, letters and symbols. Use caps a couple of time too. Remember the bigger the password the harder it is to crack.

Re: *****URGENT*****
I've spent the last hour resetting passwords on about half the forums I visit ..... now I'm wondering why? What's the threat?

Re: *****URGENT*****
A couple years ago my yahoo email account got hacked. The worst they did was change all my settings around BUT only had a 6 letter password. Now I have a 14 letter password on almost all my accounts.
