Twinspires hacked

[art vanderlay]

I received a letter today that my account at Twinspires had been hacked. Although they did not describe it that way the letter said that there had been an intrusion, I guess that sounds better.
Anyone else affected?
I had not heard about this as I haven't been using Twinspires since I moved to Keeneland Select.

Story was released on Monday.

I read your article which pretty much rehashes what i was sent in the mail,

I guess I will have to hope that no hacker can get through the high level of security to get my Social #


From the article,,,,,,,,, The only information compromised in the Aug. 3 incident were account holders’ names, birth date, e-mail address used to set up the account and a “cryptographically hashed Social Security number,” which Norris said would require a hacker to know the code before being able to convert it.

FYI...They are giving you a free year of credit monitoring. The code was provided on the back of the letter they sent you. Need to go to the website and sign up.

Lucky me, I would have preferred they had invested some money and secured the website.
