Hackers weren't invited, but they crashed the party anyway.

Event planning and invitation website Evite just announced a data security breach. Here's what we know:

- Evite knew about the breach in April of 2019.
- The breach involved an inactive data storage file associated with Evite user accounts.
- The file didn't contain any information later than 2013.
- The data at risk in the breach could include names, usernames, email addresses, passwords, dates of birth, phone numbers, and mailing addresses.

## **What should users do?**

Evite recommends that users take a few steps to protect their information:

- Change your password.
- Review your accounts for suspicious activity.
- Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal data or refer you to a webpage asking for personal data.
- Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
