Re: PSA about hackers

UGH so apparently I may have panicked and posted that last link without doing enough digging (I blame Tim as he is the one that sent it to me and, as a fellow librarian, I trusted that he checked his sources! NOPE!)

[livejournal.com profile] helloautumn linked me to this Snopes post which says this has not been covered by any major news sources and the "source" of the information is a bit sketchy.

BUT she also pointed out that we should all change our passwords every 4 months for safety anyway so if you did change your password, at least know that you are that much more secure than you were yesterday.

Sorry about that!
