Did Weebly Get Hacked?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 4:05 pm

Weebly, a website builder owned by Square, recently had a data breach that may have affected millions of its users. The data breach was caused by a third-party service that Weebly uses, and it exposed customer names, email addresses, usernames, and passwords. Weebly has since taken steps to secure its systems and is informing affected users.

This is not the first time that Weebly has had a data breach. In 2015, Weebly was hacked and over 43 million user accounts were exposed. This time around, it is unclear how many user accounts were affected, but it is likely in the millions.

Weebly is urging all users to change their passwords and to enable two-factor authentication if they have not already done so. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second piece of information (such as a code sent to your phone) in addition to your password in order to log in.

PRO TIP: Weebly has not been hacked. This is a hoax. Do not click on any links in the message.

If you are a Weebly user, you should change your password and enable two-factor authentication as soon as possible. You should also be on the lookout for phishing emails or other attempts to scam you, as scammers may try to take advantage of this data breach.
