“Lesson Learned … How Monster’s Security Breach was a Positive Thing.”
When the BBC announced Monster.com was hacked, some probably thought of the security breach as small scale. Thankfully, social security or credit card numbers were not stolen from the intrusion.
Overall, jobseekers should be grateful that limited personal data was released, probably no more than what a person could get from a phone book.
But wait!
One item of concern that may not appear to be an issue, at first anyway, is password. Since individuals tend to utilize the same password throughout countless online registrations, the chances of someone applying your Monster password to an established account you have elsewhere on the Internet is not out of 
the question.
What lesson is to be learned here?
Change your Monster password, and avoid using the same password across your multitude of online accounts. NetworkSolutions.com states, “Always use ‘strong’ passwords (randomly combine letters and numerals) at least eight characters long, change them frequently, and never share them with anyone.” Take their advice.
