As some of you know, last week there was a huge security leak involving Yahoo. Approximately 450,000 people have had their email addresses AND passwords posted online for all the world to see. This has affected people not only with yahoo email accounts, but hotmail, gmail, and others as well. You can read more about the incident here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-574...d-to-know-faq/
If you'd like to see if your information has been leaked you can type in your email address and check your status here: http://labs.sucuri.net/?yahooleak
This is why they say never use the same password for more than one account. One of my email addresses (hotmail) was leaked, and unfortunately I've had to spend hours trying to remember where I have accounts and change all of the passwords. It may not seem like a huge deal to just have your email hacked, but if people can also access your cam accounts (assuming you use the same password as your email address), you're leaving yourself open for people to go in and access your social security number, address, real name, BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION (if you use direct deposit, like I do)- you can see how much of a mess this could be.
I urge all of my fellow cam models to check and see if your email and password were posted, and Change Your Passwords if you need to! Even if you don't need to, it's a good idea to be proactive about this. I've had to learn the hard way why it's so important to use different passwords for everything; you certainly don't want someone to get a hold of that sensitive information and be able to access all of your information. Please be safe, ladies!
