| I recently got an email from them. I'm wondering, did any other DA users receive this?
-------------------------------------------
Silverpop Systems, Inc., a leading marketing company that sends email messages for its clients, told us that information was taken from its servers. This was probably part of a sweep by spammers. As a result, email addresses belonging to deviantART members were copied. Corresponding usernames and birth date may also have been removed.
We can assure you that nothing occurred on our systems with respect to this incident and no access was gained to private information on deviantART’s servers.
As a member of deviantART, you certainly have a right to know when an incident of this kind occurs. Unfortunately spammers are an unavoidable part of living on the Web.
The likely result of this event might be an increase in spam to your email. Experts have told us that there is an increase in email scams out there on the Internet and you should be cautious. Only click links or download attachments from people you know, particularly if they ask for personal information, and be sure that your email service provider has adequate spam filters.
Because we value the information that members give us, we have decided not to rely on the services of Silverpop in the future and their servers will no longer hold any data from us.

| It seems like something they would send to all their members. I think it's nice of them to let you guys know what is going on and that they have precautions in the event of spammers getting into the site. | |

| Yeah I thought it was good too. I wonder if any other websites I've joined undergo things like this and never tell us... | |

| Thats odd. I got it in my email, not my DA messages, if thats where you checked. Or maybe the spammers didnt get your email address so they decided not to email you. Unlikely though... | |
