I get it that it's necessary to change passwords after a hack but is it necessary to change email address on sites like Amazon?
My financial institution advised changing passwords after insuring that my PC is cleaned of any viruses. I've done this but an Amazon rep recommended that I also change my email address. Is this good advise and why or why not? Thanks!
