In the post, they say:
"The investigation has shown, however, that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords. Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption. (In technical terms, they are hashed and salted.)
While our password encryption measures are robust, we are taking additional steps to ensure that your personal data remains secure. This means that, in an abundance of caution, we are requiring all users to reset their Evernote account passwords. Please create a new password by signing into your account on evernote.com."
What it doesn't say is how the passwords were dumped in the first place, or what they're going to do to ensure it doesn't happen again (outside of taking "additional steps"). I understand that not all users of Evernote are technical, but I'd like some peace of mind that a similar thing is less likely to happen in the future.
