Change your LJ and DW passwords ***NOW***.

Yesterday, the DreamWidth folks announced that a bunch of DW accounts were being used for spamming, and they believe the passwords on those accounts were the same as passwords at "anotther social networking site" those folks had used previously.

Meaning LiveJournal.

Here's the announcement:

I've already changed my DW passwords, and will probably change my LJ passwords shortly, and I highly recommend you do the same.

Hate making up new passwords? Use the XKCD passphrase rule!  (Note: There's a 30 character limit on DreamWidth passwords.)
