LastFM passwords stolen

Hot on the heels of the LinkedIn password hack yesterday, other services are sheepishly announcing their own problems.

eHarmony, the dating site, released a statement saying they have been hacked and about 1.5million password were stolen.  Now LastFM, the online music service, have issued a release stating some LastFM passwords may have been stolen.

All this continues to reinforce the key message — do NOT use the same password all over the internet.

Tip – use a reputable password manager and  have a different password on every site; you don’t even need to remember them.  Check out LastPass or 1Password for some tools to help you.
