Don't worry, your login wasn't exposed, just your SSN (and we'll wait till almost the end of the page to tell you that). To make up for it, here's some free credit monitoring, maybe. https://www.getevolved.com/about/news/cybersecurity-incident -- better evolve a little more.
#Apple rejects MS-DOS emulator from the App Store? https://lifehacker.com/tech/apple-rejects-pc-emulators-from-app-store Seems like a long time to hold a grudge?
