We have noticed an increase in account hijackings on MyVMK and suspect they are related to a couple of third party websites. If you register for or use any third party websites make sure that you use a different password. If you have already reused your password on other sites, change your MyVMK password immediately.
Any website can easily save your password in plaintext and use it for nefarious purposes, this is why it is recommended you use a different password on every website. Usually these things happen by using the same password on your email address as you do on some random website that you singed up with using that email address, however in some cases such as this a website relating to another website will use that to gain access to your accounts.
This advice does not just apply to MyVMK, it applies to every website you use on the internet. Stay safe out there!
