get it now ?
until the access is blocked - you;'re fucked.
This will unfortunately go over a lot of peoples head. There is absolutely no point changing your passwords until you know for sure that the problem is fixed.

Like Naja says, they can just come right back in and get your new password. Thing I would do is change all your important passwords if they are remotely similair to your sponsors password. Epass, digital banking etc etc...
