this topic has been taken up time and time again its still worth repeating.
change your passwords.
that string of letters and numbers that you call a password is what protects your online identity.
websites that asks you to register a user name and password usually recommend creating a password that’s at least eight (8) characters long using a combination of numbers and letters. this is still good advice but i’d recommend using a convoluted phrase — a passphrase, if you will — instead. better yet, think of several passphrases and rotate them every few months.
i am aware that this may cause some problems but those problems will seem miniscule when someone guesses your password and takes over your online life.
