The delayed notification implies that there is no evidence of bulk loss of data. Some unauthorized individual accessed the database. You are supposed to change all passwords at least monthly anyway and use a different one on each site. -- this will happen when elephants fly and the sun rises

I have just done the same with Paypal and couldn't find out how to change my pass word. I went out of Paypal and started again with just listing my email address and then ticked the box to say I didn't remember my pass word and they sent me the two questions and after answering them I was able to
