Trion Worlds(Developer/Publisher of RIFT) hacked? What is this?

[Man 2]

Three hours ago, while I was fast asleep in my bed, an e-mail was sent to me from a source from whom I had not heard in a long time: Trion Worlds. Now I tried RIFT a while ago, just to see for myself whether or not it really was better than World of Warcraft. Ten minutes after creating an account and installing the game, I decided that it sadly did not compare. I uninstalled RIFT from my computer and abandoned any notion of playing the game again... but my account still existed, spared by my neglect to delete it.
Here we are six months or so later, and I receive this e-mail:

Freelance hackers attempting to look like Anonymous, no doubt.

I got this notification as well, I changed all of my passwords (even my blockland forum account).

But I plan on deactivating my RIFT account anyways.
