BrowserStack Gets Compromised
Tough luck.
BrowserStack, a paid service with over 25,000 customers (including eBay, Adobe and other giants) that allows you to test your web sites on more than 700 different web browser configurations, has been compromised.
The customers has since received the following email:
“Given the propensity for cyber criminals to target infrastructure services such as ours, it is almost certain all of your data has been compromised. These passwords take no less than 15 minutes to find for anyone who is looking” – Part of the email contents which has been signed as “The BrowserStack Team”
While no other details were revealed, @BrowserStack Twiter account informed that they have been hacked, are shutting down the service (temporary) and are working on it.
