I have received it. It's probably legit. I don't see any links to a site to authenticate, so what would anyone gain by telling you to change your password?

This information alone does not represent a security risk. However, if you have any concerns at all that your password for your on-rev account is not secure, you should change it immediately. cPanel offers a secure password generator that includes numbers and punctuation in a random string, we strongly advise you use this service.
