"Even though the passwords stolen in February were hashed, we recommend that if you were using (or are currently using) your VerticalScope community password across multiple online accounts, that you change your password for such other online accounts."

It does pay to change your passwords every 6 months or so especially if they are for sites that you regularly use.
