Parking company database was recently hacked

[D0MA1N]

When I logged on my Sedo account, I see warning message:
https://sedo.com/member/index.php3?language=us&tologin_x=33&tologin_y=9&

Your Sedo password:

A parking competitor’s database was recently hacked. Stolen data included members’ login information.

If the login information for your Sedo account matches data used for other Internet services, then we would strongly recommend that you change your Sedo password.

Your Sedo password should:

• be unique
• be regularly changed
• be kept secret
• not be given out to a third party
• include upper and lower case characters
• include both numerals and letters
• be no less than 8 figures long.

Sedo uses cryptographically unbreakable ciphertext for password checks and does not store your password in plaintext. This, and a variety of other security measures,
ensures that your Sedo account is always safe from third parties.

Many other Sedo-users also can see this.

Be aware.

Your title is inaccurate, not Sedo's database was hacked.

Sedo database wasn't hacked. As the message says, it was a competitor that was hacked, but many domainers use the same password for several accounts, so they are warning their users that they could be at risk if they use the same password for many accounts. That's what I understand from their message, and I think I know who's that's competitor that they mention.

I think I know who's that's competitor that they mention.

I know too who's that's competitor that they mention. The competitor of sedo.com is sedo.co.uk

supposedly only 1% of the database of the other company was hacked. Got the email from them - not one of the big guys. Don't even remember their brand. Have to re-check my email.

This has been covered in several threads.
It was not Sedo that was compromised.
