The next time you log in to your Evernote account, don't be surprised when you are asked to reset your password. The web and app-based digital notebook service reset all user passwords after a "coordinated attempt to access secure areas of the Evernote Service."
While Evernote states on its blog that no user content was accessed -- that means no personal notes in people's Evernote notebooks -- it does believe the hackers were able to access usernames, email addresses associated with the accounts and encrypted passwords.

    Oh. Is that all?

    If they can decrypt those passwords, they've got access to a whole lot of domains, email addresses, and bank/Paypal accounts.

    Never, ever re-use passwords for different accounts. Ever.

    Come to think of it, they have an easier route. A man-in-the-middle phish.
