SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/stolen-password-reuse

A scammer got your password. What about other accounts using that same password?

Change those passwords too.

  1. Change only the stolen account’s password
  2. Change those passwords too ✔
  3. Wait for suspicious activity elsewhere

Why: Change the exposed password everywhere you reused it. Other accounts using it need protection too.

Huh, didn't know that: A recovery offer demanding money may be another scam.
