How Did the Hackers Get Into Canva?

Canva, the popular online graphic design platform, was recently hacked. The data breach affected 139 million users.

This is the biggest cyber attack on a design platform to date.

The hackers were able to gain access to the Canva user database by exploiting a vulnerability in Canva’s system architecture. The vulnerability allowed them to bypass authentication and gain access to user data without needing a username or password.

The hackers were able to download the entire Canva user database, which included usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords. They also gained access to other sensitive information such as users’ names and IP addresses. This data could be used for malicious purposes such as identity theft or phishing attacks.

Canva has since taken steps to secure its system architecture and improve its security protocols in order to protect its users from future attacks. It has also notified affected users and reset their passwords.

Conclusion:

It is still unclear how exactly the hackers gained access to Canva’s system architecture, but it is likely that they exploited a vulnerability which allowed them to bypass authentication and gain access to user data without needing a username or password. Canva has since taken steps to secure its system architecture in order to protect its users from future attacks.
