I just tried changing my password and it says my current password is wrong.
So I cannot change to a new one now.

You have the same password that you had before the attack.
Hmnm. Well something has gone wrong. I use a pwd safe and call up and paste in my previous password and it rejects it. My password had 25 chars including letters, number, symbols. Unless the validity of symbols was changed at some point I don't know why it won't work now. I've probably only used it once when created as typically I'm "always logged on".

The password reset form has a "current password" field with a length limit of 20 characters, even though you can initially create an account with a password longer than 20 characters. I ran into this issue.

You can still change your password by logging out, and then clicking the "Forgot your password?" link on the login page. It will email you a link that lets you reset your password.
