We love that you're up on security and checking your emails. We stay up on security as well, which is why we alert individuals whose account may be at risk. If you receive an email asking you to change your password, don’t panic. As long as the message is coming from Pluralsight Support, it is a legitimate message for your protection.
Stay calm; your A Cloud Guru account is fine
Receiving an email asking you to change your password email does not mean that your A Cloud Guru account is compromised. It does mean that the login information you used on our site was also used on another site that may have been compromised. We work to keep your password and account secure by alerting you as soon as we become aware of potential issues.
