It is unclear at this point exactly how much damage has or will be done.  If you use Comcast’s version of webmail and tried to retrieve your mail during the time of this hack, you were essentially sending your user name and password to a computer in another country.  This could be a real mess.  I would sure hate to be this network manager tonight.
