Hey Jeff,

We (Envato) emailed all buyers of themes with rev slider in it as well, which you'd expect to be the most effective way of reaching them (not *all* of them will read the Tavern). I guess some people don't read their email!

I did meet a guy at a responsive web design meetup recently who said that they'd been hacked the day before. They'd received the email and looked at it and couldn't see how hackers would exploit the vulnerability, so didn't update. Then got hacked. Doh!

Of course there are themes on other marketplaces with Rev Slider bundled, so it could be buyers from there (I don't think they emailed buyers), or people with pirated copies. But I suspect people just didn't take it seriously even when emailed. Some people gotta learn the hard way.
