    Change your passwords and the like.

    fvck. I heard about this yesteday but hadnt heard any details yet...after reading I think I am OK cause I use an authenticator......still not crazy about my cc info.....Even though they dont think they were compromised......they are not 100% sure yet.

    I have an account but I am not active on anything but it explains why my phone has blown up with spam on my gamer account in the past week.

    Yeah, apparently authenticator info as well as secret questions were stolen/compromised. Looks like there's no way to change your secret question right now, but they are working on it. I dunno how to address the authenticator part.

    I bet they will send everyone a new authenticator (or update your app if you use that) -

    LOL! My work sent out an email alert about this today. I was like, Really?!

    I'm not too worried about it.
