I just got a notice that my My Space account was "phished" and I had to change my password.
Should I change ALL of my passwords now?

1. Are you sure the "notice" wasn't a phish? n/t |

2. No, it was when I tried to log in |
|
It wasn't an e-mail message.

3. Hard to tell why it happened... |
|
but I would change all of mine to be safe. It wouldn't hurt to do this as a matter of practice occasionally.

some advice...pick some phrase, some weird phrase you will remember...and use the first letter of each word for the password.
"I like cold toilet seats in January" = ILCTSIJ.
The stranger the phrase, the better, because you will have a better chance of remembering it believe it or not.

5. Just in case you don't know ... |
|
Be certain to scan your computer with some anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
Start with Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware. If you have the money, I'd suggest getting some McAffe security at the store. You don't want any keyloggers or other malicious programs lingering in your PC.

7. Myspace is always buggy |
|
It's about 50/50 every time I try to log on.
