[Marian Petrides]

I am an On-Rev lifetime subscriber but don't recall getting this message.  So it must be something else, I guess.

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.
