ActForChange brought to you by Working Assets
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM ACTFORCHANGE

Dear Subscriber,

We regret to inform you that the company we contract with to provide online services, Convio, has identified a breach of one of their internet security systems. There was no breach of personally-identifiable information or credit card data, but your email address and password for managing your Act For Change and Working For Change subscriptions were obtained by an unauthorized third party.

There is potential for misuse of this information should you use the same email address and password on other personal accounts (e.g, banking, PayPal, Amazon, etc.) Convio would like to advise you of important steps that you can and should take to prevent misuse of your personal information:

* If this email address and password are used together on any other accounts, it is recommended that you change your password on those accounts and sites immediately. We recognize that this is an enormous inconvenience, but this step will minimize your security risk.

* Pay careful attention to emails you may receive requesting personal and financial information, and only provide it when you can confidently confirm that it has come from a trusted organization.

* Report any suspicious activity immediately to the account provider (bank, credit card, etc.) and to credit bureaus. We take your privacy seriously, and as a protective step have immediately deleted all passwords from the Act For Change and Working For Change website and subscriptions. This will not affect your subscriptions or site usage, and you will simply be prompted to create a new password when you go to manage your account.

Our vendor Convio has asked us to convey their deepest apology and assurance that security has been restored. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call (800) 788-0898* or email customerservice@wafs.com.

Stephen Gunn
Vice President, Operations
Working Assets

* Customer Service Hours: Monday-Friday 5:00am - 7:30pm, Saturday 8:00am - 4:30pm PST
