PRIVACY ALERT: Paidwork Under Investigation for Data Breach of Over 23 Million User Records

 We are investigating a data breach that led to unauthorized access to the sensitive information of at least 23.3 million users of Paidwork LLC (“Paidwork”), a California-based platform that allows users to earn money by completing online tasks, also known as “microtasks.”
