Plex tells users to change their passwords after data breach
The Plex streaming platform has experienced a security breach and is telling customers to change their passwords "immediately." They also suggest that users enable two-factor authentication and sign out of any connected devices that are currently logged in.
The company says a database was accessed by an “an unauthorized third party” and that some customers had their emails, usernames and hashed passwords exposed. As indicated, the breach involved hashed passwords, which are scrambled through an algorithm, so it's unlikely the bad actor could read them. However, this is an absolute case of "better safe than sorry."
