I just got the email from them admitting the data breach.
"We want to inform you of an issue involving your Producteev username (i.e. your email address) and password. We learned on August 24 that your Producteev username and password had been held in a file outside our normal encryption procedures, and we believe that this file was potentially accessed by an unauthorized third party. We cannot confirm that your username or password was compromised, but we are notifying you so that you may take protective action." So, they were holding usernames and passwords in plain text somewhere! What a terrible, clueless company. How on earth are passwords stored "outside our normal encryption procedures"
It sounds like they didn't get hacked. They just published all the passwords in a public place and aren't sure if anyone visited the URL..... |
