Hackers Get 1.2 BILLION User IDs and Password Combinations

[MarkLawson]

If you have an online User ID and Password, you might want to change the password. The news is reporting a Russian crime ring has hacked into and gotten 1.2 billion User IDs and Password combinations. One should assume they're going after accounts with credit cards and bank information. I've changed my PayPal and Amazon passwords & my wife is changing our bank & online bill pay passwords.

I'm hoping our SpyderLovers site vendors are taking action to protect our credit card information they may have on file...

That's why I use PayPal so I don't have to deal with CC info at all. Even if I took CC the number would not even be exposed to my web store as I understand how it works.

:agree: I think that I could single-handedly; bankrupt the Russian economy, with my own brand of fiscal mis-management... pps:
