The company does not specify the circumstances under which the breach
occurred, but notes that besides email addresses, usernames and birth
dates might also have been copied by unauthorized persons.

"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," the company wrote in an email to its users.
