Food for Thought Friday

If you've ever visited the site Zappos to score shoes or clothing that's easy to return online, you may be getting more than you bargained for.

This week, the retailer (owned by Amazon) announced that they'd been hacked and that sensitive information such as emails, passwords, addresses and phone numbers were swiped. According to the company, no credit card information was stolen but since many of us tend to use the same password for multiple accounts, you may want to think twice about this -- or at the very least, update your Zappos account with new information.

Sadly, this type of things is becoming more and more common. This theft affected a customer-base of some 24 million people. If you were one of them, take steps now to save yourself more headaches later. (and snag that cute pair of boots while you're at it!)
