I would also like to mention that our CTO, Mr. NickJ, was successfully able to demonstrate how the weak passwords can be decrypted using few available tools on web (I will not mention them here.. any one interested can PM or email support). It does not take more than 5 minutes to crack passwords with no special characters in it and that are less than 8 chars.

We understand that this may have caused inconvenience to some of our clients but I suppose it is far less than the hassle you face when your sites get injected and people loose trust in you and your business. And loosing your ranking in Google..!!! is a nightmare. We request our clients to take this action positively and understand our intentions.
