Re: Data Security Update Notice – Recommended Password Change

Dear Valued Zacks Customer,

This notice is regarding a prior data breach disclosed by Zacks at https://www.zacks.com/breach/. We have confirmed that in association with this breach relating to a smaller subset of customers whose unencrypted passwords were compromised, the unauthorized third parties also gained access to encrypted passwords of zacks.com customers, but only in the encrypted format.

Although these passwords are encrypted, we recommend that you promptly change your Zacks.com password. We have no reason to believe any customer credit card information, any other customer financial information, or any other customer personal information was accessed for any Zacks customer, however, it is recommended that you monitor financial accounts and consumer credit reports. It is also recommended that you change the password for all other online accounts for which you use the same e-mail address and password as your Zacks.com account.

In addition, by March 31, 2025, the PCI Security Standards Council will require a minimum of 12-characters for passwords. Zacks is taking steps now to further enhance password security and to implement a requirement that Zacks.com customers use a minimum 12-character password. Upon implementation of these requirements, you will be prompted to change your password.

If you have any questions, please call our toll-free response line at 1-855-813-3507, Monday-Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

We regret any inconvenience and we remain vigilant in protecting your personal information.

Sincere regards,

Zacks Investment Research
