What happened
A seller on an underground forum claims to hold a Plesio database, with 207,903 unique rows and customer passwords. Plesio is a Bulgarian online retailer of computers and electronics. The seller says the passwords work for email logins, offers a free sample and additional rows on request. The claim is unverified and the company has not confirmed an incident.
Why it matters
If the database is real, Plesio customers face email and account compromise wherever they reuse the same password, plus use of their data as marketing leads. For the company, there is risk of account fraud and loss of customer trust.
What to do
Monitor for abnormal logins on customer accounts and force password resets with two-factor authentication. Tell customers to change reused passwords, especially on email, and track the forum for new samples or confirmations.
