Does anyone know if there is any real threat of fraud with the BFF being hacked,passwords.e-mail addresses etc.
I've not seen any feedback on the issue.

Passwords and BFF

- Start date
If you use your the same email address elsewhere, you would be as well to change your password everywhere
The issue is that if the BFF database has been compromised, the attacker could now have a very long list of email addresses and passwords.
Say you had used the same email & password combination on Amazon.co.uk and saved the card details, someone could now buy stuff on your card from Amazon !
Its a shame our data has been so badly looked after, hopefully we won't have any of those problems here and I'll try to do whatever it takes to make this place work. I want to do things right from the start ! No more server too busy errors !

Don't really know, but I have changed a lot of passwords on sites that used the same email as on BFF, because I'm lasy and have poor memory so had been using the same password as well.
