Dear obnosis,

We recently learned that certain Elance user information was accessed
without authorization, including potentially yours. The data accessed
was contact information -- specifically name, email address, telephone
number, city location and Elance login information (passwords were
protected with encryption). This incident did NOT involve any credit
card, bank account, social security or tax ID numbers.

We have remedied the cause of the breach and are working with
appropriate authorities. We have also implemented additional security
measures and have strengthened password requirements to protect all of
our users.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience or disruption this may cause.

If you have any unanswered questions and for ongoing information about
this matter, please visit this page in our Trust & Safety center:

Thank you for your understanding,

Michael Culver
Vice President
