1-Grid had a data leak and support provides no SUPPORT.

I received an email from 1-grid that informs me of a breach of some kind on their system, its the only way I would imagine ****mers got access to a list of their customers in order to send these phishing emails.

I have numerous times requested a report from 1-grid on what happened and what caused the data leak so that I can provide feedback for my clients regarding their data safety as this is a real, legal concern. For a hosting company to have this kind of problem is something I expect them to take seriously and provide me with adequate feedback as I am hosting customers sensitive information on their services.....yet their response to me when I query this has been to simply resend the same email below or paste a generic "how to avoid phishing" guide, no answers or feedback at all regarding what actually happened. So explain to me how I can defend myself if I get sued for hosting on 1-grids services who have experienced a data leak when 1-grid can't even provide ANY support on the matter.....ZERO feedback.

The email from 1-grid is as follows:
