Zello, with its 140 million users, is urging pre-November 2nd account holders to reset passwords. It seems like another round in the security breach Olympics!

Hot Take:

Oh Zello, here we go again! If passwords were pennies, Zello’s customers would be rolling in dough from all the times they’ve had to change them. It seems like Zello’s motto is “New day, new password,” and at this rate, they might as well give out frequent flyer miles for every reset. Maybe it’s time to consider a career in password management, folks. It’s the new black!

Key Points:

  • Zello urges password changes for accounts created before November 2nd.
  • Security notice sent out on November 15th, leaving users in suspense.
  • No confirmation from Zello on the exact nature of the security incident.
  • Previous data breach in 2020 had similar password reset requirements.
  • Zello’s silence adds to the mystery, leaving users to speculate.
