Due to the recent forum hack here, you might want to change your ubuntuone password, and also the password at any other site you used the same email and password combination. Even though the passwords were randomized, some algorithms are easier to crack than others and Ubuntu as of this posting has not released which algorithm it used to randomize passwords.

The 2 million or so forum (vbulletin) passwords that the hackers obtained were completely and utterly useless. After the hack in 2013, the use of forum (vbulletin) passwords was discontinued in favour of Ubuntu One SSO login, relying on Ubuntu One account passwords which have not been compromised. In 2013, all the vbulletin passwords were randomised - that means that they were replaced with random strings - as an added precaution. That is what the latest hacker has got hold of: 2 million meaningless random strings, in lieu of valid passwords!

And I hope they choke him!
