Important Subscriber Announcement Sent Tuesday, December 22, 2009 View as html
Dear ,

You may be aware that I use Aweber to manage my subscriber
list and deliver emails to you and my other subscribers. 

Aweber is one of the most trusted and popular autoresponders
and used by thousands of online marketers.

Today I received notice that their system was compromised
and some email addresses were captured by a group who
send out spam emails.

They also inform me that no other personal information was
obtained by the spammers and that the Aweber system is not
being used to deliver the bad email.

What does that mean for you?

I have not been notified by any of my subscribers that they
are receiving bad emails that look like they are coming
from me or are being addressed to them thru an email address
which they use exclusively for my emails. So it is possible
that none of my subscribers were affected.

However, you most likely receive email from a number of
marketers who do use Aweber and thus you may have received
some of the spam emails.

What should you do?

You should treat the emails like any other spam you receive
by marking them as junk or reporting them to your ISP. If you
have a special email address just for certain subscriber lists,
you could obtain another new email address and update your
email and then delete the original address.

All Aweber users have a link in every email that allows you
to update your information or unsubscribe.

Please know that I am very sensitive to this issue and hope
you have not experienced a deluge of bad emails. This 
situation occurred about a week ago, so if you have not been
affected so far, you probably won't be.

Thanks again for being a Bonus Blog subscriber. Please let
me know if you have any concerns.

Regards,
Chris Cobb
