"To make sure you continue having the most secure experience possible on Bigstock, we’re regularly monitoring our site and the Internet to keep your account information safe. We have detected some suspicious activity and as a precaution have reset the password to your account."

They also added a link, but I am hesitant to click.

I would not click on the link.
I have never had a site say they reset your password.
They have always said something like when if a suspicious situation like that did come up it was up to me to change my password. 123RF did this once. I don't remember other sites.
I would contact the site directly through your trusted past emails or contact within site to confirm what is going on.

Agreed - I got the email last week, but changed via the site and not the link.

I just got the e-mail for the second time within a month saying they reset my password because they "detected some suspicious activity".
Bigstock really needs to get their crap together if apparently they have such a security problem.

no,but last year I received about 10 emails from BS inviting me to renew the tax form,even though I had already just renewed it,then at a certain point these emails ended.
