I dunno... "The current situation does not breach SI security as far a members account security is concerned...It may have made anyone with something to hide feel a bit uncomfortable." Many people re-use login IDs/passwords at their online brokerage, at automated bill payment centers, and for online banking. Giving away login IDs exposes half of what's needed to get into an account others shouldn't be in. It could just as easily been passwords. Or maybe next time it will be passwords. BTW, I can see your login ID right now. What online broker do you use?

You know a lot of people use the Internet for everything. On-line banking, trading, buying clothes, ordering groceries, medical advice, buying all sorts of goods & services. Most of these sites require login names and passwords. Everyone should use a different password and login for all the sites. Would you believe some people have access to 100 or more sites? It's true. I am up there. Just imagine if someone wanted to make you broke, they break into your on-line bank, or trading account, sell everything. In the end the bank would have sided with you, but can you imagine the nightmare it would be getting your life back in order? Keep your passwords and login SECRET.
