StreamElements Alerts Of Third-Party Data Breach
StreamElements Alerts Of Third-Party Data Breach
StreamElements has announced a data security incident with a former third-party vendor that may affect some personal information of anyone who may have bought merchandise through StreamElements that was then produced by the third-party vendor.
Many content creators, like me, use StreamElements, and other services like them to offer themed merchandise items like coffee mugs, hats, clothing items, etc. StreamElements then contracts with outside third-party vendors to fulfill the orders.
Below is the content of the security notice email I received from StreamElements:
Nothing New
Sadly, this is nothing new in our online world. The main takeaways from StremElement’s email above is in the What You Can Do section:
Be on the lookout for suspicious emails, calls, or text messages. I have already received one email claiming to notify me of details that looked suspicious so I deleted it. I recommend you always be suspicious of emails making scary claims.
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. Whether this applies to emails, text messages, or DMs within Discord, this is good advice.
Consider changing passwords for any accounts using the same email address. I also recommend using a quality password manager; I have used Dashlane for years to manage all my passwords, but there are other good ones out there.
I recommend you avoid using a free one because the hidden cost may be your passwords and other data. This goes for the password manager built into some browsers.
Additionally, to the best of my knowledge, no payment details were leaked as this is handled by other third-party vendors such as PayPal or others.
