Online education platform Thinkful has suffered a data breach which may have given hackers access to users' accounts.
 
The training site for developers notified all of its users by email that an unspecified number may have had their “company credentials” accessed by an unauthorized third party.
 
However, it clarified that no government identification or financial info belonging to the company would have been available to the hackers via this route. “As soon as we discovered this unauthorized access we promptly changed the credentials, took additional steps to enhance the security measures we have in place, and initiated a full investigation,” it continued.
 
“Additionally, at this time we have no evidence of any unauthorized access to any other Thinkful user account data or user information. However, as a measure of added precaution, we are requiring all users to reset their Thinkful passwords.”
