ஜ۩۞۩ஜ IMPORTANT ஜ۩۞۩ஜ
Hey guys! I don't want to cause any panic, but I would like to inform you that there has been a Wattpad security breach. Over 270 million accounts have been compromised, reported by the Bleepingcomputer. It's presumed to have happened around June 2020.
Regarding the security issue, Wattpad has made a statement on Twitter on July 21, 2020. Recently, Wattpad has reset our passwords out of precaution. So, if you have an account, please change your emails like Gmail or Yahoo. It's quick, easy, and won't cost you anything. Also, change your passwords as soon as you can, and as a precaution check your emails.
Just a precaution, check your accounts on other services that share the same password and email. Don't panic and be responsible. Contact support and the proper services to deal with this issue. I also suggest that if you're a writer, copy-paste your transcripts to MS word or Google Docs.
Stay safe, calm, and don't panic.
