Our records indicate you registered an allrecipes.com account or logged on as a registered member of allrecipes.com prior to June 2013. If you did so, this notice contains important information for you. |
|
| WHAT HAPPENED? | | We recently determined that the email address and password typed into allrecipes.com by members when they created or logged into their accounts prior to June 2013 may have been intercepted by an unauthorized third party. Based on information available to us, we cannot determine with certainty who did this or how this occurred. Our best analysis is that email addresses and allrecipes.com passwords were intercepted during account registration or login by our members. |
