I just changed my passwords on Google, Yahoo, AOL, and georgeandmichelle.com

I don't think I've ever used Yahoo email account except for a group I used to belong to, but I went in to TRY and change my password. Looked under Help and followed the indicated links. These did not lead me to said place to change my password so guess I'll take my chances.

If you read the article, Yahoo is not the only email provider effected. So is gmail, hotmail and even several isp's.

I highly recommend no matter who you use, that you change your passwords occasionally.

I hate it when this happens. I am very much a creature of habit, and although I understand the need to change passwords on a regular basis, I don't like doing it. I have 5 different email addresses

OK, off to do some computer work LOL

I have different passwords for each "group" - same one for all email accounts, different one for all Forums, different one for online ordering, and a couple different ones for banking/credit card/financial stuff.
