Thinkful, an online education site for developers, has confirmed a data breach, just days after it confirmed it would be acquired.

“We recently discovered that an unauthorized party may have gained access to certain Thinkful company credentials so, out of an abundance of caution, we are notifying all of our users,” said Erin Rosenblatt, the company’s vice-president of operations, in an email to users.
At the time of writing, there has been no public acknowledgement of the breach beyond the email to users.

Earlier this month, education tech giant Chegg bought Thinkful for $80 million in cash.
But the company would not say when the breach happened — or if Chegg knew of the data breach prior to the acquisition announcement.
