Email from Tivo – I guess they got hacked!

I just go this email from Tivo.

This is a terrible email to get. Do I believe them that the passwords weren’t nabbed as well? No, I don’t. So I have to change every site that uses this same password.

How annoying!

    I got the same email from another website, New York & Company. Do you have a gmail account?

      This email came in on my yahoo email account.

      They may be correct that it was only the first name and email that was nabbed. Sounds like it was a third party group and them a mailling list only.
