Was Paxum.com Hacked?

What a strange e-mail!

We are glad to inform you that our login security engine has been upgraded to provide enhanced security for all sensitive data.

In order to benefit from the new features, we are kindly asking you to change your password. Enclosed you will find a temporary password that will enable you to login to the site for the first time, at which time you will be prompted to change it. Please select a secure password that is at least 6 characters long, and do not share it with anyone. We also urge you to select a password that is different from any other password you have had with us in the past or may hold with any other secure application.
Normally when a company sends out an e-mail like this it is because they were compromised.

Of course, they usually admit they were compromised, so that any users who also used the same login credentials on other sites could take appropriate action.

Has Paxum been compromised-- in any way?
