Change your passwords
Regardless of whether your password is of those that have been compromised or not, Webnames.ca would like to suggest to our customers that you change your passwords as soon as possible to avoid any issues with your account. Are you using the same password for multiple accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, your Webnames account, etc? Now may be the time to get those updated as well. Updating each of your accounts with passwords that are unique will help to ensure that your account(s) will not be compromised.
