According to the New York Times, a Russian gang has stolen as many as 1.2 Billion username and password combinations and up to 500 Million email addresses from Internet databases.
Thanks for the link. It's scary stuff.
When my Pay Pal account was hacked, their Security Department told me that no internet site was truly safe.
They told me that I must all change my passwords monthly, USING A DIFFERENT PASSWORD FOR EVERY ACCOUNT.
Obviously changing and keeping track of passwords has turned into a major organizational nightmare, but a necessary one!
