@cowboy sam You are welcome! I figured someone here would know all about it!

I just changed my password as our information was compromised. Shame on Dish for not notifying us of this right away!

They probably are not able to access customer accounts, so notifying individual customers at this point would not be possible. Our news outlets have not covered the story. I stumbled into the problem yesterday when I wanted to check their channel lineup. It sounds like a sophisticated ransom attack.

@On It According to Malwarebytes :

At this point, DISH still can’t confirm whether or not personal data has been compromised. A statement given to The Record states that customers will be contacted if this turns out to be the case.

I'm not waiting to hear if my information may have been compromised. Hackers are smarter than I am, so, I'm just going to assume they have my information.

@Marybella I think you are doing the smart thing. Being proactive seems like a wise choice.

@Marybella 

If their system is still down, how did you get access to change your password?

@geezerette  I changed my bank account password, as my Dish bill was on automatic payment each month.
