I'm a long time Plex user, and I have not received this email. Not sure if I should be worried or if the breach has just affected a subset of users. I use random unique passwords for everything anyway, as long as no credit card details were taken it shouldn't be a big deal hopefully. I was able to log into the site now and no message was displayed at all.

Edit: Not sure why I would be getting down-voted for this. Security breaches are a big deal, but if the only result of this for the users is that we need to change our passwords that's a fairly good outcome, no? :-) The biggest hurdle ahead for Plex is to figure out exactly what these attackers did, if they were directly targeted and for how long they were in their network. A lot of the times a incident is discovered it's discovered a long time after the first breach (based on my own personal experience)

I haven't received anything either, and was able to log in without having to set a new password.

I got the email about an hour ago.

Understand that sending emails that are not SPAM, to potentially millions of people is NOT a trivial exercise.

I got mine roughly 3.5 hours ago, so after this post was made. Looks like they're trickling out.
