Topic: Should we change our passwords? - page 2. (Read 2078 times)
Always change your password. At least once a month is my recommendation. It does not matter whether or not there could have been a hack. Probability wise, if your password stays the same, then every day, a potential hacker gets closer to breaking into your account.
Changing the password isn't hard, so why not?
Whatever makes you feel more safe. Accounts here need to be protected much more than your everyday forum account so do whatever you feel is necessary. Some advise changing your password once a month but I'm a bit lazy for that. Just make sure you have a good diverse password and you should be golden, assuming you've changed it since the data leak.
I tried to change my password, but it seems my old one doesn't work.
So I tried in a new browser to reset my password, it said it sent it to my email address, but it didn't work.
I am still getting "notification" emails from bitcointalk however.

@Sharma. Use Keepass. You can download it here http://keepass.info/
It is what I use and it makes password management easier. You passwords will also be harder to crack since they look something like "SDFT%$EW^Y%ETGYBDE#$^^&$"

You should change your passwords if you haven't since the data leak. If you did it after the forum hack, you don't need to do anything now. DDOS is not dangerous as far as i know but if you want to be safe perfectly, post your address and sign a message in here:

and change your pass every month...
I have changed my password last month and do it atleast once every month but I want to know if I have to change it again in view of recent ddos attack? there's no such announcement about changing password from admin.I have difficulty in remembering long alphanumeric passwords and dont want to change them frequently https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318

It is better to be safe. When you are in doubt, go ahead and change your password. Do not risk it because there could be another data breach that we do not know yet.

A DDoS only makes the service unavailable temporarily as it overloads the infrastructure. It does not, in any way, compromise data. Therefore the answer to your question is no. However, it is good practice to change your password from time to time.
I'm changing my passwords on a monthly basis. It's something we all should do. Please remember not to use the same passwords on all accounts... This is what I did, and after a website got hacked and the passwords were leaked.. It took me one day to change all of them to a different password each. 
I am not an expert but all I understand is that DDOS is not hacking it only makes website unavailable by sending huge traffic.The forum is experiencing ddos frequently and It was unavailable yesterday also.I am concerned and want to know if there is a need to change our account password?
