We have detected an attack towards AdGuard servers. Attackers used one of the databases of leaked accounts that are available online and checked whether the email/password data fit to access AdGuard account.
What we did to protect you
- As a precautionary measure, we have reset all of the AdGuard account users’ passwords.
- We have now set stricter requirements for AdGuard account passwords.
- We have connected to HaveIBeenPwned API — a website that collects data about all known compromised passwords. If the password that you are entering is found in the database of leaked ones, you will see a warning.
