1954 Aaron PSA 4 Something off

hmm. maybe they did get access to active accounts as well and have just burned thru all the dormant ones first.

that would be truly scary.

who knows these days.

if some of these folks actually put the thought/time/effort to some sort of legitimate enterprise, they'd have no reason to do any of this...

ball of confusion.

Yep, received an e-mail months ago about a possible attack on my account.

Finally got around to changing it yesterday (been years since I used it) and I changed it to something that came up as "strong" meaning it will be difficult to hack.
Doesn't mean it's fool proof, but it makes them work for it, and possibly give up on it.

I suggest various capitals, numbers and symbols like these !@#$%^&* mixed in/throughout.

With Lastpass, you create one and only one really secure password that you can remember (or write it down and put it in your wallet), and then let the software create random, maximum length and complexity passwords (that you will never have to remember) for each of your website accounts. That way if one of your passwords is compromised, it won't work on other sites, since they're different for each one.
