One of our most well known web sites has now been compromised, and it's time to change that password again.  Ugh.  If you use eBay, you'll need to change your password.  eBay allows you to change via your computer, smartphone, or by calling.  I had to call because it had been so long since I used it, I couldn't remember my credentials.

I'm often asked if it is good enough to use the password save feature in your internet browser.  An Article in USA Today shows that this is not safe.  If a thief gains access to your computer, they now have access to all of your passwords.  The article shows how to look at the passwords.
