    Evernote hack attempt - time to reset your passwords

    Evernote Security Notice: Service-wide Password Reset

    There are also several important steps that you can take to ensure that your data on any site, including Evernote, is secure:
    • Avoid using simple passwords based on dictionary words
    • Never use the same password on multiple sites or services
    • Never click on 'reset password' requests in emails — instead go directly to the service

      Good catch. I checked the source of the one they had sent me in response to my password change and it was legit.

      But a later message arrived 10 minutes after I edited my previous post and that one does indeed have the dodgy address. the href="blah" points to the dodgy domain as well.

      Despite Evernote claiming they can find no evidence of nicked data, it looks like the email addies were snaffled.
