A replacement for the potentially compromised ida.key file

Dear IDA User,

We have to inform you that we detected a possible information leak on one of our servers. Some of the license key files may have been compromised, as well as the web forum & quotation system. The information in the license key file includes you name and email and the product names.

As far as we know, all other information is safe.

Unfortunately we do not know when exactly the attack was carried out because the attacker kept low profile. A possible attack vector is the dynamic part of our web server: the forum and the blogging software.

To be on the safe side we issued a new license key file for you. Please find it attached to this message. Please use the new key file to request future updates. Your old key will not be recognized by the server anymore.

Also we recommend changing your password on the forum and quotation system.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
