I work in tech as well and was immediately skeptical of the message. Phishing is by far the most utilized means of compromising data these days. We just don't see many exploits these days. Much easier to saturate unsuspecting targets with stick and carrots. A 1% catch rate is massive when sufficiently saturated. Never understood why there are people out there that get off on trying to generate hysteria.
Warning that's circulating
- Thread starter chmuse
- Start date
There were warnings going around this morning, one of which I didn't share because it wasn't mine to share. That one implied the accounts were being drained when people left the app signed in overnight somehow.
That's why I posted. I knew enough to know it sounded a little weird, but not enough to be sure it wasn't.

This has been identified as a smear campaign orchestrated by Peptopia which was booted from Pepchat in mid January.

Thank you for the info and update!
Yes, in case the update wasn't clear:
THIS WAS A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
But don't share PII, even in DM's, in general, if you can help it. You never know how secure other people's accounts are.
