I didn't lose an email or anything (my GOMTV password is different from my regular email) but with this happening a lot I wouldn't mind better email security >.>. One thing I'm worried about is that I use several gmail accounts and I'm afraid of getting locked out (according to their ToS, they can terminate gmail accounts without warning for any reason). I at least assume if there exists a premium service then maybe that would less likely happen. | ||

So far I haven't experienced anything fishy. What to do? Change passwords on all them asap. While you haven't been hit yet, it's likely to occur sometime in the future. Someone who has the passwords may think about selling them to a third party or maybe even just posting on a public site just for the heck of it or they haven't finished checking all of them on email. So it's likely going to happen eventually so it's best to change passwords ASAP. If you're having trouble thinking of passwords - Just randomly think of random combos of letters and numbers and write them on a paper in a safe place (don't store on computer if possible). | ||

Your bank may not reimburse you for unauthorized transactions if you don't, since you're not taking appropriate action in response to a potentially leaked password. | ||
