Exclamation Time to Change Your Passwords Again

There was a HUGE hack of millions of passwords-there is a strong suggestion that everyone change their passwords.

Remember when we used snail mail and typewriters???

As I understand it, the biggest problem with passwords comes on Websites where you might enter any financial information (or of course your SS #, which you'd prefer never to enter), like companies you order from or banks/credit card accounts.

Those are the sites where you want to be careful to have very strong passwords AND to change them often, and make sure you don't use the same password on another site.

I'm still checking the URL of sites I visit to make sure Heartbleed isn't a problem. Usually when I do the Heartbleed check (LastPass has one, and so does Norton Anti-Virus) I'm told it would be a good idea to change the password.
