Here's the link to the NY Times story. Here's Allan's commentary. More at NTEN.
Update: TechSoup posted an update to its blog about the security breach, mentioning exactly when they were notified and how they disclosed this information to TechSoup subscribers, including me.
Last Monday, November 19, TechSoup learned that it was one of the organizations affected by the Convio/GetActive break-in, in which hackers stole email addresses and passwords of subscribers to various nonprofit newsletters.
Within a matter of hours, TechSoup contacted the 3,000 subscribers whose passwords may have been stolen. We also took the further step of sending out a general email advising all subscribers of the problem and cautioning them to be on the lookout for emails that appeared to come from TechSoup requesting personal or financial information. TechSoup has also posted notices on its site alerting visitors of the security breach.
If you are TechSoup email newlsetter subscriber and have specific questions or concerns, post them over at the TechSoup forum.
