I've had my password stolen for freeflatscreens. I had to harass Gratis for 4 months until they finally sent me one.

Change all your passwords on all the sites. You should be safe if you do that.

I believe most of the sites state that they are not responsible for lost or stolen passwords right in the T's & C's, but I'm not really sure. Just go ahead and change all your passwords, and dont forget to change the password to the email you have linked with the accounts...if it happens to be the same as the rest of them.

TIP Put your password in a random text file and stash it somewhere on your computer. If you have poor memory, make a note of the file name somewhere else.
