We've noticed that some members accounts were compromised because someone exploited other websites which had the same group of members registered there, using the same password.
The exploiter decrypts the password (if it's already been encrypted) and tests them on other websites he knows those members are registered on, sadly, some use the same password over and over.
Please make sure that you use a unique password in WJunction that is not used in any of your other accounts online, you should do the same with all your accounts, whether it's a forum, blog or any portal that requires registration.
Having a unique strong password will protect you from any exploits, this way if one website is exploited, they won't be able to log in to your other accounts even if they knew all the websites you're registered on, simply because each has a different password.
