Vudu Security Breach

[Brill Weave]

Received this in my email this morning.

Dear VUDU Customer,

We want to let you know that there was a break-in at the VUDU offices on March 24, 2013 and a number of items were stolen, including hard drives. Our investigation thus far indicates that these hard drives contained your email address and your VUDU account activity, if you had any. While the potential impact of misuse of your email and account activity is limited, we wanted to let you know right away so you can take precautions.

EMAIL PRECAUTIONS:

It is possible that you could get spam email, emails asking for personal information, or emails asking you to click on links to other websites. As always, you should never provide personal or account information in response to a call, email or postal mail claiming to be VUDU (or anyone else) and you should avoid clicking on links in emails you were not expecting.

We have FAQs on our web site if you have general questions regarding this incident. We have reported this incident to law enforcement and are cooperating fully with their investigation. We want you to know that we take this matter very seriously, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thank you,

Prasanna Ganesan
Chief Technology Officer, VUDU

I noticed this in my box, too. I'm glad I didn't give them my payment info.

Yeah I never went so far as to sign up. Just logged in once to see what it was about, didn't care, never logged onto it again.
