Notice of data breach at Teachable (formerly Fedora)

5 pointsby chaghalibaghaliover 6 years ago
I just received this email (to an address I&#x27;d used to sign up to a course on https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitfountain.teachable.com&#x2F;):<p>Dear &lt;chaghalibaghali&gt;,<p>We are writing to inform you of a suspected data breach involving accounts created between September 17, 2013 and November 21, 2015. We have reason to suspect that personal information related to accounts on Bitfountain (joined 2014-08-19) may have been compromised. This includes the email addresses and passwords associated with the school&#x27;s Teachable (formerly Fedora) account.<p>As a precaution we are enforcing password resets for potentially affected users.<p>You can reset your password here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sso.teachable.com&#x2F;secure&#x2F;teachable_accounts&#x2F;password&#x2F;new<p>If you happen to use this password with any other service, we highly recommend updating your password there as well.<p>We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding in helping us keep Teachable safe.<p>Team Teachable

I got this too. There&#x27;s zero incentive for startups to protect data privacy of their users when the repercussions are just that they have to shoot out a broadcast email to their old users asking them to spend hours resetting passwords.
