Are You a Zappos.com Customer? Keep Reading.

As you may have heard, Zappos.com was hacked. They gained access to customers' names, regular and email addresses, phone numbers, and the last four digits of credit cards.

Here are steps to take with your Zappos (or 6pm) account:

• Create a new password. Your old password has been retired, just in case the bad guys can break the encryption. If you're one of the 24 million, you'll get an email from Zappos or 6pm telling you to do this. Go to the Zappos website (or 6pm's) and click on the "create a new password" link.
• If you've used your old password somewhere else, change that one too, Zappos says. Using the same password at two different sites is a huge no-no if you want to protect yourself from ID theft. But Zappos knows how lazy or unknowing people can be. It's a pain, but you need a unique and complex password for each site where you're sharing personal financial information.  
• Look for updates at this Web page. You can also email Zappos, but don't try to call. They disabled the phones temporarily because the system couldn't have handled the anticipated volume of calls.
