This likely doesn't apply to most people here but just in case.
If you have and use TeamViewer (a remote desktop software) uninstall it now. It appears the TV servers may have been compromised and have access to the passwords. There are an insane number of reports of people coming to see that someone has taken over their ocmputer and is ordering stuff and transferring money on their computer. The hacker logs into the computer, uses the passwords on the computer to access paypal, transfer money, order itunes gift cards, purchase expensive computer equipment with overnight shipping, etc. TeamViewer has been stone-walling blaming the hacks on weak passwords but many people are reporting complex and unqie passwords also being hacked. At this time, nobody is sure WHO is right, so until things shake out better, I am advising everyone to uninstall it if you can. If not, clear your browser password cache because the first thing they do is use a tool to dump all of the browsers saved passwords
