Plex Suffers Security Incident Exposing User Data

[erek]

"Users are being directed to reset their passwords at plex.tv/reset. During the process, Plex recommends enabling the option to sign out all connected devices. This measure logs out every device associated with the account, including Plex Media Servers, forcing a fresh login with the updated password. The company says it has already fixed the method used by the intruder to gain entry and is conducting additional security reviews. Plex is also urging subscribers to enable two-factor authentication if they have not already done so."

And yet if they simply didnt require their server side login to use none of this would be a problem... but then again they cant make money as easily that way.

Ever since getting my NAS up, I went Jellyfin and havent looked back. Even the relatively weak CPU transcode for me.
