Atlassian We are sending you this message because we experienced a security breach and suspect that your Atlassian customer account password details (only) may have been compromised. It is very unlikely that an unauthorised user has had the opportunity to log in to your account so far and if they have, there is very little in the way of personal information which could have been accessed. However, to minimise any further risk to your Atlassian account being compromised, we strongly recommend that you change your Atlassian account password as soon as possible using the procedure below. Be aware that this security issue only affects Atlassian customers who created an Atlassian account and purchased one of our products before June 2008. Since then, we have been using a more secure user management system based on Atlassian's Crowd product. When you change your Atlassian account password using the procedure below, your Atlassian customer account details will be stored in our updated Crowd user management system, which will further minimise the chance of a security breach occurring in future. Procedure for changing your Atlassian customer account password: 1) Login to http://my.atlassian.com 2) Click "My Profile" (3rd tab) 3) Click "Change Password" (in Contact Information section) 4) Update your password to a new value Atlassian apologises for the inconvenience caused. However, this is an extremely rare event for us and since we take security issues seriously, we are taking every precaution possible to minimise the effects of this security breach.
