According to the article someone has to fall for a fake email. I've never received such an email, so I wonder how they identified a Plex user? Anyway, I keep mine updated, and they apparently had it patched well before it became public knowledge. Of course, I haven't even used Plex since March, as that was the last time I've traveled anywhere. I only use it when I'm at a hotel and want to watch something from my media collection. I really do need to take my Roku player out of my suitcase and update it. Poor thing has been ignored for months. :lol:
