<\/p>\n
Aussie startup darling Canva made it public that their user database had been compromised over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The breach has resulted in the usernames, emails and passwords being compromised and the company asking users to change their password immediately via an email.<\/p>\n
On May 24, we became aware of a security incident. As soon as we were notified, we immediately took steps to identify and remedy the cause, and have reported the situation to authorities (including the FBI)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Canva have advised the users were salted & hashed meaning they’re not immediately accessible had they been in plain-text but doesn’t make them bullet proof either.<\/p>\n
Anyone who’s signed up for the online graphic design tool should take steps to update their details immediately.<\/p>\n
