Dear EC members,
Please pass along the below information to your participants regarding the privacy of some IEEE user IDs and passwords that may have been compromised.
I haven't received any specific guidance from the IEEE at this time, but I believe it would be prudent to change your IEEE login password, I did.
Regards,
