Due to the compromise of FA and the recent reveal of the fact that the hackers have acquired emails and password hashes, we strongly suggest you change your password not only here but anywhere else that you use the or a similar username and password.
Why? Simple. If they know your password for FA, and you use it elsewhere, they can log in to those sites as well. Many times they can find out what other sites you're signed up for just by searching your username or email.
Be very careful about emails in the future as well. There's a chance they might try to send you something that looks legit but isn't. These may include "[Click here] to take action or your account may be locked" emails from "PayPal" or similar things. These links are designed to take you to fake sites set up just to harvest passwords and possibly install malware as well.
