DreamHost has been busy helping customers get new passwords after a potential hack into its systems. The Web-hosting provider discovered some unauthorized activity in one of its databases last night. No information has been forthcoming as to how a hacker might have been able to gain access to one of DreamHost’s internal servers. If you use the same password elsewhere on the net (a very bad habit from the security point of view) you should make sure that you change it now. If hackers do have your DreamHost FTP password you don’t want them to be able to log into your email, eBay, Amazon, etc accounts too.”]
