according to a data breach notification, “An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases” [[3]]. The company says that while the incident was quickly contained, it’s urging users to take precautionary measures to secure their accounts [[1]].

Plex is recommending users reset their passwords at https://plex.tv/reset. The company also advises enabling the “Sign out connected devices after password change” option to ensure all active sessions are terminated, requiring users to log back in on all devices.

For users who utilize Single Sign-On (SSO) to log in to Plex, the company recommends logging out of all active sessions by visiting https://plex.tv/security and clicking the “Sign out of all devices” button.

Plex is also reminding users to enable two-factor authentication for added security. The company emphasized that it will never ask for passwords or credit card details via email.

The company clarified that payment card information was not compromised in the breach, as it is not stored on their servers. Plex stated that they have addressed the method used to breach their server but have not provided further technical details about the attack.

“Even if you think you are immune to this or other leaks, go and reset your passwords just in case,” Cybernews said. [[2]]
