At least give it to them for being straight forward and honest. Yes, they screwed up, but so have a lot of other companies that in my opinion hold much much more sensitive data about me.

Not saying it's right for them to not take security as serious as they should have, but unlike a lot of other companies, they disclosed it immediately, came up with a game plan, apologized multiple times and are refunding users and offering others free stuff.

I've changed my password on the other envato services I use as a just in case and I still plan on using them in the future. They've always put together great and in-depth tutorials and are a great resource for beginners, hackers and experts.
