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,
