Mobipocket Servers Hacked

Just got this email from Mobipocket:

Dear Mobipocket Customer:

We are writing to let you know that we have reset your Mobipocket password – when you return to the Mobipocket site, you will need to select a new password for your account. Upon making this change, you’ll continue to have access to your previous Mobipocket purchases and downloads.

We reset your password because we recently learned of an attempt to gain access to a Mobipocket server. Files containing name, account name, password, address and e-mail address for some Mobipocket customers were kept on this server. Although we have no evidence that these files were accessed, we changed your password and are notifying you out of abundance of caution.

Please note that there is no need to immediately change your Mobipocket.com password. You will be prompted to change your password the next time you visit Mobipocket.com. If you do wish to change your password now please follow the instructions below:

1) Go to Mobipocket.com and click the “My bookshelf” link on the top of the page

2) Click the link that says “Forgot your password?”

3) Follow the instructions to set a new password for your account. Please choose a new password and do not use the same password you used with us previously.

If you have any questions, please contact us by sending an email to questions@mobipocket.com.

Sincerely,

Mobipocket.com
