I e-mailed them and here was the reply:

Thank you for your email. We apologize for the inconvenience. Elance is not associated with this company and no, we did not give or sell your account information to them.
Unfortunately, this website seems to be the source of a security breach earlier with Elance. Elance sent out the details of this attack to our users earlier this summer.
In case you were not aware of the issue, we have enclosed the information here:
The attackers accessed a user data table that contained contact information -- specifically name, email address, telephone number, city location and Elance username. The table that was attacked contained no personal financial information.
This incident did not involve any credit card, bank account, social security or tax ID numbers. The locations on our database where we store personal financial information are isolated and protected for extra protection. Furthermore, in the unlikely event that someone ever gained access to this financial data, it is stored in an encrypted form to ensure that it is unreadable to those without the secure encryption key.
Elance is working with the authorities to have the breached information removed. In the meantime, we recommend that you request the removal through the "Contact Us" on the outsourcingroom.com site also.
Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
