Houzz data breach - change your password

I'm sure I'm not the only person here who uses houzz, so I wanted to give everyone a heads up that houzz suffered a data breach and had had usernames and hashed password stolen. If you use houzz, you should consider your password compromised and change it. Additionally, if you reuse passwords (and who doesn't?) You should change it on other sites as well. 

If you want to really be secure, use a password manager like lastpass, keypass, sticky password, or logmeonce to maintain unique passwords for each website you use. That way if something insignificant is hacked like houzz, it doesn't compromise your credit card or email account.
