I actually don't have any email about this in either my linked Yahoo account or my "primary email" in Flickr which is my main gmail account.

So reading your email apparently wouldn't have helped you at all.

Great job, SmugMug.

It takes time (as in, many days) to notify >100M people. We're working on it. The blog post and assorted spontaneous coverage, like Hacker News, is faster.
Even then, targeting the most affected ones (those on free plans with more than, say, 900 photos) first is, I assume, a much simpler job that might save you from a bit of a public scrutiny and give those people an extra jiffy or two to act.
And here I was erring on the side of me being at fault. How do they assume people know about it?
We don't assume. There will be frequent, and increasing, notifications. No-one wants to fail to notify people less than I do.
Thank you!
