So that's why I had to re-enter the password all of a sudden. Luckily I don't keep anything secret in my account.
If someone gets my recipes and saved receipts so help me god! Good on them for being open about it I guess.
Read that as "Everyone hacked". You spooked me to death.
hah, was about to register when I found it in my new phone.
It's pretty sad that I found out via Facepunch and services that magically stopped working than any email from them. Apparently they're sending out email, but this is yet another really crappy way of responding to users about being hacked. Also, they chose Saturday to announce this? Really?
Mother fu... Guess when I registered, right before the attack.. Guess what email I got the next day telling me to change my password.
Aw man I just installed this monday :( still an incredibly good tablet app for taking notes on though
I use Springpad over this because I get offline access.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;39778654]I use Springpad over this because I get offline access.[/QUOTE] I tried Springpad and Catch and liked Springpad a lot, but I just need to transition everything over from Evernote which would be a pretty big task at this point. Looks like their web interface is a lot nicer though.
Oh wow, I have had Evernote installed for ages and never actually used it because it wanted me to sign up, and I had a bad feeling about giving them my info (when usually I hand out my details without too much fuss). How weird [editline]3rd March 2013[/editline] But I guess they wouldn't have my password anyway
