Important Plex Forums Security Notice

I received the following email today, figured I’d help spread the unfortunate news and recommend that anyone signed up on the forums changes their password.   Dear Plex User, Sadly, we became aware this afternoon that the server which hosts our forums and blog was compromised. We are still investigating, but as far as we know, the attacker only gained access to these parts of our systems. Rest assured that credit card and other payment data are not stored on our servers at all. If you are receiving this email, you have a forum account which is linked to a plex.tv account. The attacker was able to gain access to IP addresses, private messages, email addresses and encrypted forum passwords (in technical terms, they are hashed and salted). Despite the password encryption measures, we take your privacy and security very seriously, so as a precaution, we’re requiring that you change your password. Be sure to choose a strong password, never share it, and never re-use passwords for different accounts! Even better, use a password manager (1Password, for example) to manage a unique password for you. Access to your Plex account will be blocked until you do so. Please follow this… Read More »Important Plex Forums Security Notice

Follow us on Twitter!

Hey everyone, As you may have noticed, in the sidebar there’s a section linking to a Twitter account for the site/server. I was debating between this and a newsletter you can subscribe to however most people (like me) are probably already swamped with emails daily and don’t want another one to deal with every time I sneeze and Plex goes down. So I opted for the Twitter route. By following us you’ll get the quickest news about uptime and potential issues as well as reboots and such. Even without following us, checking our page on Twitter or the sidebar here will easily. I hope this comes in handy! LightSpeedTaco

A Short Downtime

As mentioned on the server uptime page, during the hours of 3:00 and 6:00 PM EST the Plex Media Server lost its connection to the internet making it unavailable as a result. The root cause of the downtime is currently unknown but I am investigating logs to determine the cause and prevent further downtime from occurring. Thank you all for your patience. I would have posted details sooner but this one hid from me a bit. Sorry! LightSpeedTaco
