Yes, we did notify. And I got a response from one user thanking me because he used the same password for LinkedIn *AND* his bank...so he was scurrying off to change his banking password too.

After the e-mail went out I got bombed by our Service Desk guys (it was my recommendation to send it) asking why we would want to do such a thing since "it's not our website". I felt the scope was sufficient and the business use adequate enough to warrant notifying our employees. I had folks above me agree with me (else it wouldn't have been sent), and the front line guys disagree. This is one of those judgment calls where everyone is going to handle it differently. Did any of you guys send a note out to your staff?
