[Noisebridge-discuss] email password cracked - what to do?

[Steve]

* Change passwords for all services that use that email address, email first.
	* Use strong passwords. Attached is an infographic on the subject.
* Check the outgoing mail.
* Contact any banks associated with the account - they typically have a fraud prevention team that can offer advice.

I wonder if it is enough to log in and set a new stronger password and make sure that the internal info for access to different blogs, bank accounts etc which could be among the emails is secured = passwords changed etc.
