Your Email login

[Ian Cameron]

Hi folks, I am not sure if this is the appropriate place for this message, but as a member I feel it is important for everyone.

Apparently a messaging service (Linkd In)has had 6.5 million passwords leaked! These passwords are linked to email addresses for login procedures on that site. It is recommended that if you use an email address and same password login for multiple sites, change your password immediately. There is an indication from Northern Europe that hackers are already forcing attacks into accounts.

Not good news, but better to be aware than sorry.

Thanks for that heads up, Ian!

[Ian Cameron]

My pleasure Sylvia. I, probably like many others have so many accounts/passwords that it is hard to keep up, giving complacency a head start, and hackers the opportunity to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting.
