An allegedly stolen Wattpad database containing 270 million records was being sold in private sales for over $100,000. Wattpad is a web site that allows members to publish user-generated stories on a variety of different topics. A new user registered on a hacker forum using the name and photo of ZDNet reporter Catalin Cimpanu and began offering this alleged database for free. The database is now being offered for free and claims to contain 271 million users. The number of users reported to be in this database conflicts with the reported 80 million total users on Wattpad in 2019.
