Suspicious Logins?

Over the past 24 hours my family/friends, over 3 accounts received notification from CX (some asia miles and some marco polo) such as follows, In one instance, log in was in Europe. Quickly changed password. Obviously, there is something cynical, right?

Has it happened to anyone else here?

Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Thank you.

I'm getting a crap ton of them now.

But It's coming from my KVS Tools desktop application. Almost every time I do a search I get an email.

As various people are getting these messages, it does not seem that individuals had their pcs hacked.

BUT it is not award wallet. I changed passwords and did NOT update award wallet, yet the same messages came again, after a few hours.

Accounts never used on KVS tools.

The emails said variously that accounts were logged in from Hong Kong, Germany, USA, using Android, Windows, Mac OS!

Not that simple.

I wonder if CX has a problem, hacked or leaked?

CX recently pushed out an update their authentication system to add this notification email.
