Monster users headsup
UK jobsite giant Monster have managed to lose the personal details of 4,500,000 jobseekers to "hackers".
If you have an account with them you should change your password..........

EDIT:
It happens in Australia as well:
The Department of Commerce, which administers the jobs.nsw.gov.au site, refused to say whether personal details had been stolen from Government servers but the public service jobs site was offline last week for "system maintenance".

It seems that the US parent has been affected as well:
The Web site, run by New York, NY-based Monster Worldwide, gave scant information about the breach, except that the intrusion did not compromise any Social Security numbers or personal financial details, which the company does not generally collect. The breach also affected Monster.com's government client, USAJobs.com, which also posted a notice on Friday.
