I haven't recieved an email from Canva... but just a heads up to he careful with any emails like this.

The concern is that they are providing you a 'link' to change your password. What they should be telling you is to open a new browser and log into your account on your own, then change your password.

Phishing scams send out emails like this (I'm not saying this is one) whether it's from supposedly from Apple, Fed Ex, PayPal, your bank or wherever and claim their is a problem with your account (or a shipment)... or they may say something like your payment went through when in fact you didn't buy anything.

Then they put a link in the email to check your account, report problems, update your login information or whatever... but that link takes you to a site that looks identical to the real one (but it's not) and when you think you're logging into your account you're really just giving them your login credentials and other information.

Again... I'm not saying that's the case here, it's just bad practice for them to include the login link in their email rather than just saying to go to your account and change your password.

Thanks for the heads up this though, I'll make sure to change my password as well 😊

I just went directly to Canava's site.

There is a notice on the home page. There was a security breach that affects people that use their email to log onto site. They also have a copy of the note your received on their web page.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Yes, I received an email too but I tend to be rather cautious when someone asks me to change a password and I haven't had time to check that the email is genuine. I am afraid that it may be the hackers sending out the email. Though why they would hack Canva I have no idea.

Hi Jennifer.

Please be careful. The link you posted is not secure (it is http not https). This is a **red flag!**

Do not click any link which isn't https and even when it is, still exercise extreme caution.

1. Copy links into a browser in which you have disabled Javascript. I recommend, Brave.
2. Paste the link into the browser's address bar and press Enter.
3. Click on the padlock next to the protocol—https—and make sure you see "Certificate (valid)"

Even when all these check are passed, I would still do some research before using your **ORIGINAL** link (where you first registered) to change your password.

Always treat the Internet and emails like con artists trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

Good luck.

Regards,

This stuff is everywhere.

I think it is a good idea to use the same password for everything just so I remember how to get into each different account 😆

Then this stuff happens and I am like,
Okay so maybe its not a good 💡 and that is when I decide to keep a log with the separate passwords saved just incase I forget.

Changing password now
Thank you Jennifer

There's big scams going around at the minute, be warry of emails that seem trusty and look like that, they may give u a link to sort your password but will usually bring you to a static page that looks legit so they can access your emails and passwords by watching u enter them, be very cautious online especially with the newer hackers on the rise

I tried Canva and I didn't like it, and I have not received an email from them. Thanks for the warning, I just can't wait until I get my PhotoShop software Installed on a computer, This laptop is not what I needed to get that accomplished. I can make killer graphics and flash animation for my website. Thanks for the heads up, thanks Sruffey.

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing this issue!
Yes, I got the e-mail and I changed my password.
You have a beautiful day!

Thanks You

Thank you for your warning. This keeps the whole WA family apprised of security issues that could hurt any of us. Thank you for being a team player. Here's to your success.
Peace💗

Thank you for the warning, Jennifer. I didn't receive the email from Canva. I followed your advice, checked status.canva.com and changed my password.

All the best,

Jennifer thanks for that important info.
Cheers.

Have not received this notice but will be in my mind if I do. May change it anyway. Thanks for the update.

Yes, I received the email. Thank you for letting other people in this community to know

I wonder, what if one logs in with Facebook or other social networks?
Thanks for sharing, Jennifer.

I received that warning and changed my pass.

Thanks, Jennifer. I've received no post yet, but will keep it on the checklist.
