This morning Dick Eastman wrote about the Hack of information at my 
Heritage. While the idea of a hack sounds bad, the only data taken was 
email addresses and hashed passwords. ( for example if your password was 
"newpassword" all they may have gotten was "n********rd" )  My heritage is 
still recommending to change your password. 

This is a quote from My Heritage:  “Although no passwords leaked but only 
hashed versions of the passwords, we encouraged our users to change their 
password, and many already did so. However, to maximize the security of our 
users, we have started the process of expiring ALL user passwords on 
MyHeritage.”
