Hi, I want a say on this , moderators, pl

Boggin:
I've read the article and while emails can be hijacked, I think it will be up to the user if and when they change their password but it is advised to change passwords periodically anyway, although I don't do it and I don't have any duplicated passwords.

Hi, Thanks boggin
                    The article has also been published in news paper and it is ironical that data as whole is available for sale.
                       If the leading mail providers could not safeguard , then who could. Now everything is in email and all sorts of transactions are done thro the websites .
                           How google , yahoo could be that much compromised to such hacks?
                   

Boggin:
If someone wants to hack something badly enough then they will find a way in.

Recently my ISP was hacked and personal details were obtained.

None of it affected me and I don't know if others had suffered a loss because of it, but complacency with security measures when they are doing their job will always occur.

It's only when they don't that they need to be upgraded - that is why we have so many AV program Definition updates as well as Windows Updates.
