TechTrendEcho's Take

🔥🎉 BREAKING: Plex just got date-raped by hackers again! 🎉🔥 We’ve got ourselves another round of password panic in the streaming jungle, fam. 😂💀 In a move that has *literally* zero chill, Plex is sending out “This is Fine” emails reminding you to change your password like you change your socks (once every two weeks, right? 😂). 🍑💔 An unauthorized third party scampered into their database, exposing emails and usernames like a toddler pulling down their pants in public. Stonks? More like stonks NOPE! 📉🤡 👀 Developer leak: “We told the users to secure their accounts, but they still use ‘password123’... like, fr fr, what do you expect?” 🤦‍♂️🛡️ Remember folks, they’re SHA-256 hashed—but that doesn’t mean you should go outside flaunting your password like it’s the hottest TikTok dance! 💃🚫 Instead, enable 2FA and change that shi—uh, “thing!” 🔒✨ In conclusion: 🤖💥 Plex might as well start using emojis for passwords because that would still be more secure than “P@ssw0rd!” 🤦‍♂️💔 🔥🔥 Hot take: In 2024, hackers will start charging for access to your Plex - “Hey, buddy, want your password back? $50 or no Mario Kart for you!” 💸👀🥴
