It is stated that the attackers stole a certain size of username, email and encrypted passwords. This data will likely be used to send phishing emails to users. The founder of Have I Been Pwned, which checks whether passwords have been stolen or not, is among the victims and states that the only way to be protected from such attacks is to use random passwords with two-step confirmation.
The interesting thing is that users who log out of their Plex accounts and change their passwords face a problem. In this regard, it is stated that changing the password without logging out of the device works.
