THAT IS LITERALLY THE KAITO VOCALOID COLOR PALLETTE, YOU SUCK AT COLOR PICKING

I’ve heard abt it. The breach goin’ on. It’s sort of died down, but some are getting hacked and people are using their accounts. I haven’t been affected tho, so I’m careful

whether you use wattpad or not, please read and share this post – it regards an issue about wattpad users' informations having been sold and exposed and can be in potentional danger.

wattpad took quite some sweet time with coming out about it themselves, i got an ask about it just minutes ago though and figured it might also be worth sharing it here as well.

it was recently found out that a lot of users have had their personal/private sold by Shiny Hunters. it's a group known for selling databases to companies through data breaches (a breach is, put very simply, the (un)intentional leak of personal/private information).

some time ago, users had struggles accessing their accounts, as far as i've understood because of the data breaches – they can include general information such as names/usernames, passwords, email address, location, date of birth, contact number. other than that, this sort of information can/have also been revealed:

i don't think i even have to say this but this (obviously) puts a lot of people in danger.

to avoid this, changing the password to both your wattpad account as well as the google/facebook connected to it helps, whether you've been affected by a breach or not – on that note, it helps even more if you use different passwords for each when you change them. while it sounds like a 'simple' method, not only people in general but also wattpad (eventually) recommended changing your password.

another way to ensure your safety is to search up 'opt out of breach':

click haveibeenpawned, which most likely will be the first results in the search.

enter the email address you used for wattpad to receive an email with instructions; all you have to do is to follow the steps.

your email address will not be available to the public and will instead be removed from from lists of breaches that have included it.

it's a bit of a hassle but logging out of your accuont after every time you've used it reduces the risk of someone getting access to it by 25%.

there are a few more ways to ensure your safety for the future:

like mentioned, those who had problems with accessing to their wattpad account are those who have been affected by a breach. this also means that if you've had access to your account, you haven't been affected by it. however, keep in mind that in general 271 million people have been affected by data breaches so please, share this with others for the sake of their privacy and safety.

on that note, i may also add thay i am simply quoting wattpad user @/walkingecho's book, 'wattpad strategies no one told you about'. they have written quite a lot about this whole issue and have also included links to various sources/informations. they also regularly post updates that are both helpful and important so i highly recommend checking it out.

keep in mind that i am by no means an expert in this area and am only sharing the information and advice i've been told – if someone has something to add or sees something in this post that needs to be corrected, let me know.

please, please, please, whether you use wattpad or not, reblog this and/or in any way possible share this with other wattpad-users you know. 271 million affected people is a ridiculously high number. knowing that they've had their private information sold and exposed and can be in danger should be an obvious sign to spread this.

damn, I knew me and Shin had something in common :D

THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE COLOR IN CONTRAST THEN?
