Well that still assumes that your password was not otherwise breached.

Which info, might I ask?
If it was the old story I posted, that was specifically weak passwords ... a strong password would have prevented this.

To further illustrate this point ...
One of the most popular disk encryption services in the world right now is True Crypt. Utilizing SHA-512 or Whirpool hashes, it is almost impossible to break. Even the FBI is on record saying they cannot crack a TrueCrypt volume.
But if your password is not secure, even TrueCrypt can be brute forced in a matter of minutes. So is that TrueCrypt's fault or the user's?

But was it strong enough?
Apparently no.

Can't tell. Again. Yahoo could have been hacked. No password is strong enough if it is given away. That's how it looks to me. Since I have said that several times, I'm done here.

I have a long complex pass phrase password. I doubt it was a brute force attack.

Let us be the judge of this. What is your password?

He can give it to you, but he needs your credit card number first to process the transaction. Operators are standing by...

Weak password.
In the future, your passwords need to be simply a sentence, as in, Mydoglikestoplayfetch. It's been proven that, of course, it's easier to remember and, ultimately, more secure than the capital letter, numbers and symbol routine.
