I just learned of this on the news today; I changed my PW & UPDATE PW RESET INFO. There are numerous other things, but I do not use them.

Yeah things are getting pretty crazy when it comes to internet security lately. Tumblr has that crazy fake FBI Moneypac Virus going around too.

Good thing I don't use Tumblr. Should my mother change her Yahoo! password as well, cause there's no numbers in it, and it's quite short. (Yeah, I don't have an e-mail account yet, I use my mother's I feel like a baby. :lol: I'm thinking about making a hotmail account soon and switch my e-mail to that on ABO and other sites.)

You're safe from the virus on Tumblr so long as you have your wits with you and you don't click on any strange messages from strange people. The officials are working to get rid of the problem though :)

As for emails I prefer gmail, but I do have a hotmail account as well.

I hope these security breaches will be curbed soon.
