Dear Customer,

We wish to inform you of a major security incident that occurred a few days ago, beyond our control, which resulted in the disclosure of more than 280 million usernames and passwords. This massive data breach—nicknamed “ALIEN TXTBASE Stealer Logs Leak”—stemmed from data collection performed by malware that infected millions of computers without their users' knowledge.

We took the initiative to verify all of our client accounts and identified several accounts appearing in this breached database. As a precautionary measure, we have forced a reset of the access credentials for these accounts. No Genious Communications account has been compromised to date, but we strongly encourage you to protect your credentials—not only on Genious Communications but also on any other sites and services you use.

 

Here are some recommendations:

1. Use unique passwords: Each site or service should ideally have a different password to limit the impact of a potential breach. Password managers such as Bitwarden or LastPass can help you manage your credentials effectively.
2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Please note that you can activate 2FA on your Genious account by visiting your client area and following the instructions at https://clients.genious.net/user/security.
3. Regularly scan your devices: Use up-to-date antivirus software to detect and eliminate any potential infections.
4. Change your passwords regularly: Periodically renewing your credentials strengthens their security.

5. Check the security of your email addresses: We invite you to visit haveibeenpwned.com to verify whether any of your email addresses have been involved in recent breaches, and to prioritize changing the associated passwords.
