I saw the warnings about a limit of 2 times (although, I don't think they are spite reading them, I was certain I had one more device unsync/switch left this month,).

I can see how this would infuriate users.Ĭurrently, I have no access to my basic account. In working with a demo account (that is at the basic level) today that I use in order to train people on how to better use Evernote, I ran across an issue that I believe is a bug in how the device limitation is enforced and has resulted in me being locked out of the basic account all together.

News reports suggest as many as 50 million accounts may have been compromised in this manner. However, Evernote did confirm that the hackers were able to access usernames, email addresses, and passwords. Now, on Saturday, the popular website Evernote announced on its blog that it has 'discovered and blocked suspicious activity on the Evernote network that appears to have been a coordinated attempt to access secure areas of the Evernote Service.' According to the company, an investigation into the hacking incident revealed no evidence that user content 'was accessed, changed, or lost.' 'We also have no evidence that any payment information for Evernote Premium or Evernote Business customers was accessed,' the company said. Recent weeks have featured news reports of high-tech hack attacks at high-profile targets Apple and Facebook.

Privately held, venture capital-backed Evernote, which sells apps that help computer users organize their 'notes, Web clips, files, and images' all in one place, has just discovered the downside of holding a lot of useful information in one place: It attracts thieves like bears to honey.
