Got an email from us saying we've reset your password? A small # of accts seemed possibly affected offsite & we took a precautionary step.

We'll be pushing out password resets for folks compromised by "Get More Followers Fast" websites (these are often phishing sites).

Use a unique password for each website you use; that way, if one account gets compromised, the rest are safe.

We're resetting PWs for users affected by phishing (if you've already reset your PW, we may still reset you based on sent DMs).

We're still seeing phishing attempts; don't click on strange links! And tell folks who DM you phishing links to reset their PW.

We're working to reset PWs and notify users w/affected accounts in the meantime (but feel free to change your PW if worried!)

Getting weird DMs? Probably due to phishing. Don't go to the links sent in the DMs or give out your login & PW!
