Just got an email with that as a subject line. Has Plex really been breached? Do I really need to change my password? The message seems sincere and the links check out to be non-suspicious but I don’t know. If this is true surely many people here can vouch and say “Yeah this is legit”.

Sue the ■■■■ out of these ■■■■■■■■ Im tired of this ■■■■ having my information floating out there due to poor security measures. Wheres the ■■■■■■■ accountability?!?

well lovely, just messaged all my server users telling them to throw the email away gotta love when this happens lol

@Ss6ixspeed if you are really true to your word then just stop using the Internet! They get your info because you give it to them. This is not the issue of this tread so take your rant somewhere else. This thread is for info about this problem, not somebody’s personal ranting and raving…

managed to change my password. now my personal library has disappeared. great way to end an afternoon

I sign in and access plex via my google account, I am guessing I don’t need to do anything? I do not have an active plex account per se.

I had this issue too. Had to “claim server” about half a dozen times before it finally took. Seems to be okay now.

same issue here @ph4t3 and finally got the reset password email, tried that and it still doesn’t work: The token is invalid, please request a new one. Ugh.

Wondering the same here. Im also signing in with my google. Do I then need to reset my google password too?

The same happened to me. Login into your local PlexWeb (ex. http://127.0.0.1:32400/) and Claim the server from there.
