Are you still using 3 or 4 passwords all over the internet? chances are you have been hacked just as I was over a year ago.
I used to have different password for every bank and other important accounts and one password everywhere else on the internet. This was fine till I got repeated alerts from companies that their servers have been hacked and my password was compromised along with my email.
