luckily i did change my FTP, email and control panel details when i got the original email, so i can still access them all. but i didn't change my MySQL database passwords, and they seem to have taken it upon themselves to change them themselves.

in the interests of security, i don't mind about that. but seeing as they didn't actually notify me about it, virtually my entire site stopped working because none of the pages could access the database.

and here's the best part... i have an error logging system set up on my site which records all the php errors. and sure enough, there are about three million billion errors on there where the pages have failed to access the database. but the password they were trying to access the table with (which is presumably the password that fasthosts changed it to) is the word... 'YES'.
that is their idea of security! to change our 'insecure' database passwords to a three letter word.

fasthosts is becoming a joke.
