Evernote hacked: Emails, encrypted passwords stolen

http://j.mp/12jDMgf  (SlashGear)

   "Cloud notetaking service Evernote has been hacked, the company has
    revealed today, with an unidentified attacker compromising servers and
    extracting usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. The
    attack has forced a mandatory password reset, meaning all users must
    change their password before they can log back into their account, but
    Evernote says there is no evidence of either notes being viewed by a
    third-party, or payment details of Evernote Premium or Business users
    being accessed."
