Web development resources provider SitePoint has notified users of a data breach that resulted in some of their information being stolen.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, and established more than two decades ago, SitePoint provides users with access to tutorials and books that can help them learn the basics of web development.
Last week, the company started informing users that some data was accessed by a third-party during a cyber-attack that was "Recently confirmed."
"Your browser will remain logged in if you have used our service recently. However, you can still create a new password manually by clicking on the 'Account > Profile & Settings' option and entering your details in the 'Change your password' section," SitePoint said.
Users who log into SitePoint with Google, Facebook, or similar social services won't have to change their passwords.
SitePoint did not provide information on the number of affected users, but BleepingComputer suggests that over one million might have been affected, based on information that emerged in December 2020.
