Plex Security Incident: Users Urged to Reset Passwords

Plex has announced a security incident where an unauthorized third party accessed a subset of customer data from one of their databases. The compromised data included emails, usernames, securely hashed passwords, and authentication data. While passwords were securely hashed, Plex recommends all users immediately reset their passwords and sign out of all connected devices.
