For user's to automatically log in, it appears that you didn't move data to FlyMainds as much as FlyMaids is the new face to the old HomeJoy site and database.

What is the full URL of the link in the email you received? You must save your login information in your browser, otherwise I assume you would have questioned how you logged into the site at all.

It could be a phishing scheme that attacked your saved login information then placed that on a dummy site in hopes that you may provide even more data.

EDIT: They could have sold / transferred user data... but I don't know how they would automatically authenticate you without using some previously stored data that you, maybe unknowingly, gave them access to.
