I'd say for a least 60% of the users, having their username, email and password, gets you access to all the sites they visit, Paypal and ebay included, plus access to their webmail account.

The other 40% of people will have used different password for each site and will be safe.


Unfortunately all too common especially in my line of work :nonod: Still, maybe with .org down we can all get out and drive our cars a bit more :woohoo:



Anyone want to come fix my coolant leak :(

Yeah, pop round Dan. I'll fix it for you. :P


Tempting :P Just managed to crack off all the underfloor pan bolts so if I can find my 10mm socket I can carry on a bit quicker as just using a ring spanner is gonna take a fair while :lol:

Well, just in case I've changed all my financial passwords!


So that's where you've been for the last couple of hours :P

there was a time when I'd be doing cold turkey now without the .org fix, now all I can think of is all the dead links on my web site :rant:

Good analogy!

Fortunately I have different passwords for sensitive sites so if .org
has been hacked my vast wealth :lol: is safe.

I don'r regularly visit .org but am daily on xpower, I'm also finding that xpower accessories and ptp are broken, sure they are all interconnected.
