i understand that you probably want to keep info about the potential 
compromise to yourself, right now, but a consequence of your reticence in 
offering detail is that you haven't given us a lot to work with. can you 
share with us the reason for your suspicion? how the possible compromise was 
achieved is always a big clue towards appropriate defense.
