Helen - it is a good idea to change passwords if the sites you were using
were compromised and have fixed the problem (Yahoo I believe was one of
them). It is no good however changing passwords on a compromised site if
the problem is not fixed as your new password is then also at risk.
There are various sites you can google which claim to show sites which are
at risk - I guess all the major ones are fixed now.
