Should we start looking at those who haven't been hacked yet? :twisted: ;)

How many here have been affected by any of the hacks? I have not been affected by any so far.

I am in a process of changing my passwords. There is only so many times I can read an article about sites being hacked and be able to ignore it...

It can take days. I changed all of them once I bought the password manager. Though the fact that they are so much stronger and also completely different from every other password means that if one site gets hacked the damage is limited. For many people they have the same password for everything. Most of mine are 20 digits long but I am slowly upgrading them to as strong as allowed. My wifi is 50 digits long which is overkill but will keep out all but the most determined and skilled hacker.

Rubber hose technique ;)

Or getting a way into your system as the password to the password store is probably the least secure link (as in it should be the strongest by a long shot)

Its not the strongest password but with my memory it is at least not in the dictionary, and I never use it anywhere else.
