In addition, newspaper companies, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, suffered security breaches recently. Investigators believe that the hacks of Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple are traced to Eastern European cybercriminals.

They are still investigating whether the Evernote security breach is related to the other high-profile companies that were hacked earlier in the week. Evernote became suspicious of a potential hacking attack on February 28 and believes that it caught the attack early on. However, for its paid account services including Evernote Business and Evernote Premium, the company stresses that there is no evidence to suggest that users’ payment details were accessed, changed, or lost. Evernote CEO and founder, Phil Libin, stated that the hackers gained access to users’ usernames, email addresses, nicknames, and encrypted passwords. Users can choose to operate on a free account or a paid account with fewer advertisements, less restrictions, and more storage space. Among the other companies that were hacked, Evernote is the only one that has made the password reset mandatory. With almost 50 million users and 100,00 new users everyday, Evernote is requiring everyone to reset their passwords upon logging in on their computer or mobile application. The most recent company to have a breach of security is Evernote, an online note-taking application that can be accessed through almost any computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Over the past couple of weeks, several internet companies, including Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple, have been victims of sophisticated hacking attacks.
