Major security breach at VUDU
http://j.mp/149Fj9R (The Next Web)
"On March 24, 2013, there was a break in at the VUDU office and a
number of items were stolen, including hard drives. These hard drives
contained customer data including names, email addresses, mailing
addresses, account activity, dates of birth, and encrypted passwords,
but NO full credit card numbers. We are proactively retiring and
resetting all passwords and notifying all customers. As another level
of protection for customers we are also providing AllClear ID identity
protection services. We reported the theft to law enforcement
immediately, and are cooperating fully with their investigation."
