Evernote Limits Hack Damage with Good Security Practices
[CIO TODAY]
Evernote has been hacked, forcing the online note-taking software to reset passwords for its 50 million users, although any password data that was accessed was protected with encryption. What does this mean for enterprise IT security ?
“In our security investigation, we have found no evidence that any of the content you store in Evernote was accessed, changed or lost,” Evernote’s Dave Engberg said in a blog post. “We also have no evidence that any payment information for Evernote Premium or Evernote Business customers was accessed.”
