The 2019 Canva breach exposed data belonging to around 140 million users, making it one of the largest breaches by raw record count.

Key facts

• Occurred in 2019 and affected roughly 140 million customers.
• Exposed data included names, email addresses and, for some users, password hashes.
• One of the largest breaches ever by sheer number of records.
• Highlighted the scale of exposure when a popular consumer platform is compromised.

The lesson

Record-count rankings can overstate impact, but 140 million exposed users is a vast pool for credential-stuffing. Reused passwords are the real danger after a breach like this.
