People perceived this information quite easily, saying that such fraud is not new. This is certainly true, but many users find themselves in the lists of exposed information, then they changed the passwords and began to be more careful to the security of their data.

Therefore it the passwords are recommended to be changed on your mailbox, even if they are not related to the above mentioned services, because it is still one of the most effective methods of data protection.
