Mainstream media such as the BBC are also carrying the story. Some information is posted here<http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41528.entry?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=363915619>. UPDATE: Gmail and Yahoo are also affected by the compromise. Change all passwords on any of these popular webmail sites. Some does and don'ts: * Do change your passwords on a regular basis (every six months or so) * Do use long complex pass-phrases rather than passwords where you can * Do change all of your passwords if you notice something suspicious * Do take identity theft seriously * Do use up-to-date anti-virus and a firewall * Do NOT click on links in emails, ever * Do NOT use the same password at multiple sites -- ME2 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
