Evernote resets 50 million passwords after hackers steal user data

Evernote, a Web-based note-sharing service, said it was resetting the passwords of its 50 million users because hackers managed to breach its computer network and access some usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords.

Evernote spokeswoman Ronda Scott said via email on Saturday that the attack “follows a similar pattern” to other cyber attacks on Internet-based companies in recent weeks, but she did not elaborate.
