Gz3827, thanks for the info. I just read the huffingtonpost article about this, and used the link they provided to test a website. Out of the 6-8 websites I tested, the only one that showed up as possibly being vulnerable was Audiogon.
An interesting problem. I'm surprised at vulnerability at this level of so called super secure items.
I heard on the news last night that you shouldn't change passwords unless the organization that the password is for... has fixed this problem on their end. In-other-words, if he subject password is for AudiogoN, AudiogoN has to have applied a fix on their system... otherwise it's a waste of time to change the password.
I emailed Audiogon support yesterday and asked them about this issue. When I saw this thread I sent them a link to it. Let's see how they respond.
