Wallapop suffers an attack and asks for a password change

Wallapop

Many users today are using this application for buying and selling products on their mobile devices and this time the app suffered an "improper access" attack, so possibly when you open the app you will have to change your password yes or yes.

In this case, it seems that the customer data has not been affected and there is no great loss to regret, since it is only a password change. It should also be noted that Wallapop have taken the opportunity to completely modify the web, so you can enter and see the changes introduced, which are not few.

The official statement must have reached you directly to the email you use for the platform, in case you have not received it, check the spam as it is a massive change. This is what it says Wallapop in its official statement:

The next time you enter wallapop, for security reasons, you will have to reset your password. The reason is that we have detected improper access to our platform, which has forced us to take measures to protect your data. For this reason, we have closed the session of your account and in your next access you will have to change your password (the previous one has been disabled), or access from Facebook or Google.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this incident.

Sincerely, the Wallapop team

So in this sense we can only say that change your password as soon as possible whether or not you use this application, it is the only way to avoid problems in this case so do not delay this action.
