Wasn’t it Plex that led to LastPass getting breached?
I mean, why isn’t everyone using open source at this point? Companies are just clamming to suck up as much money as possible from people still stupid enough not to learn from what every other company has done! 🤦♂️
Lifetime passes vs monthly subs. FOSS equivalent product don't exist considering live TV guide, default SSL security, integration with settop media boxes, etc that Plex offers... jellyfin is close but far from the decades of polish and half baked features Plex have added
It was a very old, unpatched Plex server running on hardware that had access to LastPass critical data.
If you ran very old FOSS with unpatched vulnerabilities, you'd have the same problem. It wasn't Plex that did it, it was unmaintained self-hosting.
Plex has it's problems, but this wasn't one of them.
