Blah, least they couldn't take anything cause they couldn't verify in my paypal account...

But now I must change one of my three universal passwords, leaving me with only two now...

You SURE it was hacked? Not just one of those password collecting emails sent out to everyone that LOOKS like a real Paypal email (until you check the links) and says your account was hacked, but 'please verify your username and password at the following link' things?

You don't necessarily have to change your universal password if it's only being used for menial things. Paypal is important, definitely change that and any other passworded accounts linked to financial stuff.

But if you're also using this password for like a free online gaming account, then why bother changing it? Is your hacker really interested in your Gamespy account? ;)

Oh I'm sure...

I went to www.paypal.com and apparently it said my account was limited due to a 3rd party access.
