and Call of Cthulhu, has warned users that personal info may have been compromised.

Popular virtual tabletop Roll20 has warned its users that their personal
data may have been leaked. On July 2, the platform sent out an email to
all users of the platform explaining that information, including their
full names, IP addresses, and the last four digits of their credit
cards, may have been compromised.

Roll20 says it discovered rCLunauthorized accessrCY to an administrative account on June 29. Apparently it became aware of the breach at 6:30 PT
and had blocked access to the account an hour later.

According to the warning email, Roll20 says it has rCLno reason to believe that your personal information has been misusedrCY and that itrCOs notifying users rCLout of an abundance of cautionrCY.

It adds that other sensitive data, such as passwords, addresses, or
credit card numbers, was not similarly compromised rCo because Roll20 doesnrCOt store payment information or passwords.

Roll20 has also promised rCLan action plan to further enhance the security
of our administrative tools going forward.rCY

rCLWe truly regret that this incident occurred on our watch,rCY Riley
Dutton, Roll20 founder tells Wargamer.

rCLAlthough we have no evidence that any of the data is being misused, and
no passwords or card numbers were exposed, we believe in the importance
of being transparent with our users about any potential exposure of
their personal information.rCY

If you use this virtual tabletop and are concerned about what data may
have been leaked, you can open a ticket on Roll20rCOs help page to ask questions or see the specifics.

Roll20 has long been one of our favorite VTTs, and itrCOs only been
getting better in the last few years, from a modern overhaul currently
in Beta, to pairing with one of the best DnD map makers, not to mention Discord and Demiplane. However, Wizards of the Coast is now working on
its own competitor, Maps, and its approachability has us sitting up and
taking notice.
