An email has just been issued to all ETN suers, inviting them to secure their email accounts (change to a new, very effective, password), before asking to secure your etn account with a new password.

just posted this by email to people with ETN already - but it's good advice for everyone pre-password reset - the email telling people to reset their password will go out later! Sorry everyone! We're on this!

Hi Everyone!
Firstly - PLEASE do not reply to this email address - it won't get a response - my inbox has over 10,000 unread messages.
We are asking EVERY Electroneum holder to ensure that their EMAIL ADRESS PASSWORD is very secure. We know that hundreds of Electroneum holders EMAIL ACCOUNTS have been compromised by a sophisticated hacking team.
There have been a number of security incidents on other websites in the past, unrelated to Electroneum (including, but not limited to, DropBox, Yahoo, Adobe, Last.FM, Tumbler, LinkedIN, Ebay etc.).
Electroneum has NOT been directly affected by these incidents but we've detected that quite a number of our users accounts are at risk as they may have been using the same email addresses and passwords in more than one place.
To secure your Electroneum account, we are going to be requiring everyone to reset their password before we make the wallet system live. DO NOT RESET YOUR ELECTRONEUM PASSWORD NOW - we are going to reset it. We are asking you to reset and secure your EMAIL ADDRESS PASSWORD.
To re-iterate our system has NOT been compromised.
Please ensure that the EMAIL ADDRESS that you have used to register your Electroneum account is SECURE. This means you should really change your email address password (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.) to something VERY secure. Please use the links below for some password generator sites that will make you a secure password.
Your Email account password SHOULD NOT be used anywhere else.
The safety of your ETN coins is entirely reliant on ensuring your primary email account is secure before we ask you to change your Electroneum password.
We are aware that people are experiencing login problems with their PIN number, this issue will be resolved when we ask everyone to reset their primary password.
Please ensure your email account password is highly secure. Use one of the following websites to generate a very secure password.
www.strongpasswordgenerator.com/
identitysafe.norton.com/password-generator/
lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
We will post an update later today and send another email - please keep an eye on our social media posts.
Again, we are very sorry for the delay in activating our service, we feel it is important to make every effort to try and ensure our users are protected from the inevitable attempts to compromise their accounts.
