Less than 0.2% of our 200 million users were affected. “This issue only affects our community-support forum. Once our forum is back online, all users will be required to set new passwords as the compromised passwords will no longer work,” he said.ĪVAST claims that only the forum was compromised and no other details have been accessed, which means that financial details or any payment information is completely safe. “If you use the same password and user names to log into any other sites, please change those passwords immediately. Users will be asked to set new passwords when they log back in, Steckler explained, and everyone is recommended to change their passwords in case they're using it on some other websites as well. Vince Steckler, CEO Avast Software, confirmed the attack today and announced that the company decided to take the forum offline in order to continue work on resetting all user passwords in order to keep everyone protected. AVAST has once again fallen victim to hackers, as the company's forum was attacked during the weekend and all user names, nicknames, email addresses and passwords were compromised.
