Evernote recently sent an e-mail to its users telling them to reset their passwords as they have been recently been added to the list of top companies that has been attempted to be hacked this year.
Evernote sent an e-mail requiring its users of nearly 50 million to change their passwords to a more secure one explaining that they have recently been a victim of a hacking attempt. Evernote’s CEO and founder, Phil Libin stated that they pursued a password reset for the users’ safety and that everything is running, but not really smoothly. The company wrote in a blog post that “individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords,” but that no billing information were retrieved.
This continuous breaching of well renowned companies is really alarming to users as most internet users today uses these services to store their private data in hope that they will be safer on the cloud rather than on their hard drives since hard drives are always due to crash. But with all these breaching attempts, will their files still be safe or will they be at stake?
