Urgent! All users of the 500px.com will need to reset their passwords

Users of the photography website 500px.com will need to reset their passwords, following a breach where an aggressor was able to take “partial user data” from July 5 last year.

“If you were a 500px user on or prior to July 5, 2018, you have actually been affected. We’ve concluded this problem affected particular information that users offered when submitting their user profiles.”

500px stated it discovered of the problem on February 8, and included there is no evidence that payment information has actually been accessed.

“We have actually informed police, in addition to keeping a security firm to help us in the investigation and next actions.”

At the very same time that 500px had actually informed its users of the incident, folks on social media were claiming programming education website DataCamp was also breached, with e-mail, name, bcrypt-hashed password, and potentially location, biography, education, and photo amongst the information exposed.

“We are sorry for any concern or hassle this may cause. We are working rapidly to investigate the situation even more and take appropriate steps to avoid such occurrences in the future.”

The 500px said that it is still examining the cause of the incident.
