News aggregator app Flipboard said Tuesday it fell victim to hacks that exposed and possibly allowed copying of users' account information.
The information revealed in the hack includes users' names, Flipboard user names, encrypted passwords and email address, Flaipboard said in a blog post. No Social Security numbers, credit card information or other financial data was revealed, as the app doesn't collect that information.

As a precaution, we have reset all users' passwords, even though the passwords were cryptographically protected and not all users' account information was involved," Flipboard said in an FAQ. Users will have to create a new password the next time they try to log in to their account.
It wasn't immediately clear how many accounts may be affected.
