Hi guys!

As some of you already know, we're currently migrating to a new a platform. The message you received was indeed from us and NOT a hack.

No security has been compromised. We are working on making our old system compatible with the new one and one of the steps is to migrate user credentials into a new setup that has a character limit on the password length.

We have a special decryption algorithm + salt that is transferring all of the information and flagging accounts that have passwords over the new limit.

At no time has your password been compromised or vulnerable.

We're sorry if this scared any of you. The emails went out quicker than expected and our comm team didn't have the time to warn you guys about the upcoming changes.

Remained assured that everything is still koscher.

Cheers!
