[MustISO]

Dear Valued Customer,

Unfortunately, the GoToMYPC service has been targeted by a very sophisticated password attack. To protect you, the security team recommended that we reset all customer passwords immediately.
Effective immediately, you will be required to reset your GoToMYPC password before you can login again.
To reset your password please use your regular GoToMYPC login link.
Recommendations for a strong password
• Don’t use a word from the dictionary
• Select strong passwords that can't easily be guessed with 8 or more characters
• Make it Complex – Randomly add capital letters, punctuation or symbols
• Substitute numbers for letters that look similar (for example, substitute “0” for “o” or “3” for “E”.

2-step Verification option
We encourage you to learn more about using the 2-step Verification option for GoToMyPC accounts.

The GoToMYPC Team is committed to protecting the security of our customers and our services. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

those that havent reported being hacked is cause their dumb IT folx dont realize its been hacked.

No they weren't. Nothing in that linked indicated they were hacked.

GoToMYPC (G2P) came under a password attack. Once we determined the nature of the attack, we took immediate action to protect our customers. Citrix can confirm the recent incident was a password re-use attack, where attackers used usernames and passwords leaked from other websites to access the accounts of GoToMyPC users.
