[rquote=2499852&tid=144192&author=Nicky.][rquote=2499810&tid=144192&author=mike888]This is ridiculous and totally irresponsible. My password is one that I have used since I stated using the web and even before then. I use it on nearly every site I visit including internet banking the only difference being 3 digits are added to the end of it on some accounts. I'm not changing it for anyone, that always has been and always will be my password. FFS how poor must the security have been on this site for this to happen, If I suddenly find my email address and password have been used to access my accounts and take money and buy goods I shall take legal advice and seek compensation through the courts. Luckily my bank card has just expired and I have to register a new one with everyone I deal with so no one can use any of my accounts at the moment, but even so this is intolerable. WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. NOW, NOT IN IN THE FUTURE!!! [/rquote]

To be honest, that's your own stupid fault for using the same password on a friendly, big brother internet forum that can be accessed by anyone... to a bank account that people can use your money with! Anyone with a sense of a brain should be able to work that one out!

I have 5 different passwords I use all over the internet, it's not hard to remember 5. Then if you ever forget, just put them in 1 after another and one is bound to work! Simples! Xx[/rquote]
Pretty much this.

Using the same password on a message board that you use for your bank account is beyond idiotic. At least change your email password, so that they won't get access to your other stuff.
