If you are a user of Citrix's GoToMyPC unfortunately you will have to reset your passwords (use something long varied and strong, don't reuse an old password!).
The service, which lets users remotely access PCs over the internet, was hit by a "very sophisticated password attack," Citrix said Sunday in a blog post. The company is requiring users to reset their passwords using the "forgot password" link. This is just another hack in a long line that have been disclosed in the past few weeks as hackers seem to be targeting website with huge user databases in an attempt to reap the rewards of cybercrime.
"Citrix takes the safety and security of its customers very seriously, and is aware of the password attack on GoToMyPC," said John Bennett, product line director at Citrix, in a statement. "Once Citrix learned about the attack, it took immediate action to protect customers. Citrix can confirm the recent incident was a password re-use attack, where attackers used usernames and passwords leaked from other websites to access the accounts of GoToMyPC users. Further, there is no indication of compromise to any other Citrix product line."
To reset your GoToMyPC password, go to the site and click on the Log In link.
I would recommend along with resetting your password that you enable two-step verification, a process that sends a code to your phone each time you want to sign in. If you've used the same password for GoToMyPC at other websites or for other accounts, you should change it at those places as well and don't make up a new password and use it on your other sites to, not that you would do such a thing.
