- question about security
- Posted by fruno on October 31st, 2005
I am registered with several web forums and recently one of them got hacked.
Since I normally use the same email, user and password combo for many of
these sites, should I reregister with the other ones since one got hacked.
Just wondering this would be over cautious. Thanks in advance for input.

Wonderful. Well, now you know why this is not recommended. Change usernames
and passwords on ALL sites. If the email addresses are not throw-away
like yahoo, replace them immediately as well.
No, this has only been recommended procedure for 20 or 25 years.
