If you're registered on Monster.com/.co.uk..

then you might want to change your password on any sites which use the same password, and be on the lookout for phishing emails or any other issues, as Monster have admitted that hackers have gained access to their records.

Yep, heard that today. I'm on the look out for a new job, and was about to put my details on alot of these sites. I think s1jobs.com was the only one i had got round to thank god.

Is the needing to change passwords thing accurate? Most sane developers these days use one-way encryption for such things. (Granted, not many developers are sane).

The news report specifically says that passwords were among the information stolen. That's all I can go by. If it were me, I would want to change my password ( if I was the type of person to use the same password in more than one site ) just in case.

thanks for the heads up...didnt know about this :)
