Russian hackers,billions of passwords

Is it necessary to change all of one passwords...do you think,just had to change Ebays recently:confused

 

Cyber intelligence analysts working in the Federal Security Services (FSB) are reporting today that the New York Times (NYT) has made an estimated US$1 million off of a “fake article” designed to look like news blaming a Russian hacking group for stealing over a billion passwords to Internet sites and personal computers causing fright among tens-of-millions of users the world over.

According to this report, on 5 August, the NY Times published a story titled “Russian Hackers Amass Over a Billion Internet Passwords” which was, in fact, a “Native Advertising” venture between this once respected newspaper and a relatively new computer company identified as Hold Security founded last year in Wisconsin by Alex Holden.

Personally I think it is necessary to change ALL passwords regularly. Not just change them when you hear of a threat, which is too late. Use strong passwords with upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols when you can, and never use the same password for multiple accounts.
