MySpace User? Change Your Password!

Just a note to anyone using MySpace: Change your password.

Not only were 34,000 MySpace passwords compromised in a phishing attack in October, now 56,000 email addresses (login names) and passwords have been phished and posted to the Full Disclosure Mailing List.

This means that if you use the same password for MySpace as you do for your email then your email is compromised too. In fact, if you use that password anywhere you should change it immediately, especially in a corporate environment.

Also, if any of your passwords are mentioned in the Wired article then change them too.

If you have difficulty remembering 'tough' passwords, I recommend PasswordSafe.
