Topic: Computer hack

[Don R]

 I heard some e mails, log in's and passwords got hacked from an unnamed computer company. Tonight my wife checked Credit Karma and it said don't use a certain password and to change it asap. I recognized it as Paypal so I logged on and Paypal said to change the password due to unusual activities.
 If you use it, you might want to check yours too. It leaves me wondering what else I might need to do.
 
  I saw a story about it online that directed me to a web site that would let me know if my passwords were hacked all I had to do was enter them,,,, yeah right.

 Thanks for sharing that, it's pretty close to what I did. My first concern was paypal so I got on it right away. We also changed online banking etc.

This xkcd cartoon is the best advice I have seen so far concerning strong passwords. No matter what you choose to do DO NOT use the same password for different sites.
