I've installed LastPass to allow me to use different passwords for all these sites. Way too many to remember 1 password per site.

I installed LastPass also. I liked being able to auto-generate a password of random letters, numbers, chars. and can be of various length. How secure and good it is, I can't say. Other suggestions?

Maybe the Hackers will update my site with all of the pertinent details that I have not been able to update due to not having the time to do so.
