Learning Interchange Compromised
If you use the brilliant Apple Learning Interchange site you should be aware that some aspects of the site may have been recently compromised. Today I received an email to say :
“We recently learned that the security of Apple Learning Interchange (ALI) members’ names and passwords may have been compromised. These accounts are limited to accessing the ALI discussion board and do not contain sensitive information such as credit card or social security numbers”
The Interchange site is currently down for maintenance as we assume they are resolving the issue. In the meantime if you use the same username and password combination anywhere else you need to change such passwords immediately.
We hope the Learning Interchange site is restored to its full glory again very soon.
