If two different PCF members have been hacked, it's quite possible that the PCF password database has been compromised, meaning that it's quite possible someone with criminal intent and active fraud attempts now knows your PCF password.

The most important thing to do now is to make sure that you are not using your PCF password anywhere else, such as ebay or paypal. If you have been, I encourage you to change your password on those other sites ASAP.

3 different members now at minimum

Hopefully the password db is hashed (and salted) so that while the hashes can be used here, they won't actually have your password.

I don't know how Tommy has it set up, but I'm not going to bug him now as he's probably a tad busy.

So much this. I read an article once about how hackers had set up a legit contest somewhere. People entered and won prizes and all was good. However, the hackers realized that people had a tendency to use the same email/password pretty much everywhere. What they did was turn around and scour the web using all these login combos knowing people had given info they used on multiple other sites. Genius for sure, but a lesson in never using the same password in multiple locations.
 
I hadn't seen this. I just tried logging in and my account was locked, link sent to me from PCF to reset my password, which I promptly did.

Is PCF being proactive in mandating a password reset now?
