Personal data of 270 million users exposed - Where to check if you were affected

HaveIBeenPwned has added a large data breach - involving popular writing website Wattpad - to its database of data breaches.

In June 2020, Wattpad - a website that allows users to publish their own literary content and critique the work of others - suffered a large data breach which exposed almost 270 million user records.
