Important Mollom Security Notice
Dear Customer,
This is an important security notice from the Mollom team. On August 21, we identified a breach of one of our Mollom servers. Our subsequent investigation showed that unauthorized users gained access to Mollom servers and were potentially able to access Mollom data. Today we have closed the security loophole used to gain access and taken measures designed to prevent future breaches.
Data that may have been compromised includes usernames, account contact information, passwords, Mollom public and private keys, and billing transaction logs. Paypal account information was NOT stored on the affected servers.
At this time, we have no evidence that any malicious activity took place with customer data. To help assure this continues to be the case, in addition to the measures described above, we have changed all Mollom user account passwords.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Because we have reset all of the Mollom user account passwords to access the Mollom administrative interface, you will need to reset your password using this URL: http://mollom.com/user/password
In keeping with security best practices, if you have used your Mollom.com user account password for other sites on the Internet, it is recommended for you to change it in those places.
WHAT WE ARE DOING TO PREVENT FURTHER BREACHES
The security of the Mollom platform is of paramount importance to us. We are conducting a thorough review of our procedures and will be arranging additional external security audits above and beyond our normal schedule to further test our security measures and give you peace of mind. If you detect any suspicious activity with your Mollom account, please contact security@mollom.com immediately. You can find updates as they become available and an FAQ at http://mollom.com/blog/security-notice-august-2013.
Thank you,
The Mollom Team
