    It's always a good idea to change passwords regularly.

    I have an app that generates random passwords of whatever length u want 12-15 characters is usually good. I try to avoid ones with 0's and O's tho...;)

    I would recommend changing passwords. It's a server side attack. Any large service you use, banking or email is already patched. Smaller sites though, who knows.

    I'd recommend using this to look.

    This wouldn't change problems that could have happened within the first couple hours after this was released, or anything in the past. Safest just to change passwords.

    The age of cyber warfare is upon us.

    So everyone behave online as they do IRL and u will be fine. Street smarts and all of that apply it to the net never trust anything 100%

    I lost almost 0.5 bitcoins to hackers and im pissed!
