Anyone else here paranoid of identity theft or their accounts getting hacked?

I clicked a suspicious e-bay link and was directed to another site...

so I went in to change my passwords and I went crazy...

youtube
yahoo
beastie boys
clutchfans
ticketmaster
ebay
paypal
bank
gmail
amazon
imdb
myspace

yea, i think i should step away from the computer for a while...

is wise. Should have a different password for each site as a matter of course. As for ebay, zonealarm (www.zonelabs.com) has a built in ebay password protection vault. I think it also can be used to hold passwords for other sites like paypal, etc. There is a free version for non-commercial use on their site.

LOL I know the feeling.
Welcome to modern life where everything has a PIN and you're lucky if you can remember them all. And they suggest you change your important PINs. Hell I can't remember what they are TO change them LOL

just keep changing your identity every 6 months or so and you'll leave them behind in a trail of smoke!
