Agreed. And, is there anything we need to do? Change password?

Thanks,

As per the advice given in Paul's thread, do not use the same password on NPN that you use to access sites that have to do with your finances or other sensitive info. Other than the info you place on your Preferences page, no other personal info is on the NPN server.
