Have any of you received this dreaded email from RightMedia (RMX Direct) today?

What the fuck!!...

Dear RMX Direct Customer:

We regret to inform you that there has been an unauthorized access to
the portion of our Right Media Exchange (yieldmanager.com) platform that
RMX Direct networks use to manage their buys on RMX Direct publisher
sites. The information accessed is that contained on the Linking Details
page which could include, depending on which fields you have populated,
your Contact Name, Email Address, Payee Name, Billing Address, EIN/SSN,
Payment Method, and Websites. We do not believe that any of your
billing, ad serving data or revenue data was compromised.

Upon discovering the unauthorized access, we worked as quickly as
possible to investigate the incident and secure the access route. We
have identified and taken action against the party behind the
unauthorized access. To ensure the integrity of our systems, we are also
conducting a system wide internal audit to identify any other potential
access vulnerabilities.

Based on the information we have gathered, we believe that the access
violation was focused on obtaining your email contact information for
the purpose of soliciting you to do business directly with the
perpetrator. However, your Employee Identification Number (EIN) or
Social Security Number (SSN) may have been obtained if you had populated
that field during the setup process in RMX Direct. To the best of our
current knowledge, your EIN or SSN has not been used inappropriately.
However, you may wish to exercise caution and place a fraud alert with
the three (3) major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union).
Each agency has an automated fraud alert system that will notify the
other two agencies to also place a fraud alert on your accounts. You
can also obtain a free copy of your credit report from the agencies.

The contact information for the credit agencies is:

Equifax - 1(888)-766-0008 - www.equifax.com

Experian - 1(888) 397-3742 - www.experian.com

Trans Union - 1(800) 680-7289 - www.transunion.com

In addition, if you did populate the EIN/SSN field, we will make credit
monitoring available to you, at our expense, for the next year. You
will receive on email with instructions on how to take advantage of this
service in the next few days.

Again, we apologize for this incident. We appreciate your participation
in RMX Direct and are committed to providing you with a reliable, safe
and beneficial experience.

If you have additional questions about this, please feel free to call me
at (541) 255-2070 or email me at directly.

Sincerely,
