Evernote, một dịch vụ lưu trữ các ghi chú quan trọng và được rất nhiều người yêu thích với khả năng đồng bộ mạnh mẽ. Tuy nhiên, có vẻ họ mới bị hacker viếng thăm và khả năng mật khẩu người dùng bị rò rỉ. Mặc dù Evernote tin tưởng rằng thuật toán mã hóa của mình vẫn ổn, tuy nhiên hôm nay họ đã thực hiện việc yêu cầu tất cả người dùng phải đặt lại mật khẩu của mình nhằm đảm bảo an toàn tuyệt đối.

Ngay bây giờ, bạn login vào http://evernote.com, sau khi login thành công thì sẽ phải đặt lại mật khẩu để tiếp tục sử dụng Evernote. Và bạn cũng cần phải đăng nhập lại với mật khẩu mới của tài khoản Evernote trên BlackBerry (nếu bạn đang sử dụng).

Với người dùng Z10 thì chắc chắn sẽ không thể bỏ qua Evernote khi Evernote - Ứng dụng ghi chú đã được tích hợp chặt chẽ trong BB10

Dear Evernote user,

Evernote Security Notice: Service-wide Password Reset

Evernote’s Operations & Security team has discovered and blocked suspicious activity on the Evernote network that appears to have been a coordinated attempt to access secure areas of the Evernote Service.

As a precaution to protect your data, we have decided to implement a password reset. Please read below for details and instructions.

In our security investigation, we have found no evidence that any of the content you store in Evernote was accessed, changed or lost. We also have no evidence that any payment information for Evernote Premium or Evernote Business customers was accessed.

The investigation has shown, however, that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts, and encrypted passwords. Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption. (In technical terms, they are hashed and salted.)

While our password encryption measures are robust, we are taking steps to ensure your personal data remains secure. This means that in an abundance of caution, we are requiring all users to reset their Evernote account passwords. Please create a new password by signing into your account on evernote.com.

After signing in, you will be prompted to enter your new password. Once you have reset your password on evernote.com, you will need to enter this new password in other Evernote apps that you use. We are also releasing updates to several of our apps to make the password change process easier, so please check for updates over the next several hours.

As recent events with other large services have demonstrated, this type of activity is becoming more common. We take our responsibility to keep your data safe very seriously, and we’re constantly enhancing the security of our service infrastructure to protect Evernote and your content.

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
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We apologize for the annoyance of having to change your password, but, ultimately, we believe this simple step will result in a more secure Evernote experience. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Evernote Support.

The Evernote Team
