Renaissance Site Upgrade has been Scheduled

Not really sure where to post this...

 

My HT has just forwarded an email from 'someone @ renlearn.co.uk' asking if it is a phishing attempt...

 

Fair enough and all for asking, but as far as I know we only use this service as an app on the iPads for 'Accelerated Reader' so I'm not sure how much of the email is relevant to us, like 'RM Unify to provide an SSO (Single Sign On) to Renaissance products' will no longer work and especially all the links for 'view the upgrade webpage', 'view our FAQs' and 'download our upgrade checklist'...

 

It does list a couple of technical changes (password changes, URL whitelist', 'enable pop-ups' and 'update shortcut URLs'), but nothing really 'major' that we need to do.

 

Anyway, as this is the first I've heard about it I thought I'd check on here before I reply saying it's OK (all links appear to be genuine etc.)?

They're an absolute nightmare for their 'spray & pray' emails. I've had the same email at all my schools and we stopped using their services 9 years, 12 years and 1 year ago respectively.
