'As recent events with other large services have demonstrated, this type of activity is becoming more common,' the company blogged, advising users not to use simple passwords based on dictionary words or reuse the same password on multiple sites. There was no indication from Evernote as to whether the attack on the company was in any way connected to the other attacks. The attack on Evernote follows reports of recent attacks on Twitter and Facebook.

'Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption. 'The investigation has shown, however, that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords,' according to the company's security team. In a note to its user base, the company said it has found no evidence that any of the content users store in Evernote was accessed or lost, and that no payment information for Evernote Premium or Evernote Business customers was compromised. Online note-taking service Evernote has reset passwords for millions of its users after detecting a malicious attack.
