alexpriest.com Responds to Malicious Hacker Attack 0


Last night, alexpriest.com fell victim to a malicious hacker attack. The still unidentified hackers hacked into the alexpriest.com servers and stole confidential usernames and passwords for both Alex Priest and client accounts on Facebook and Twitter.

The hackers have taken this sensitive information and begun to distribute it via underground sources, as well as to the general public via the social media accounts they have seized from alexpriest.com. The alexpriest.com team is working closely with Twitter and Facebook to identify these brand identity thieves and bring them to justice. In addition, we are working to remove all unauthorized content from these Twitter and Facebook feeds as soon as possible. In the meantime, Facebook and Twitter have agreed to lock down the compromised accounts while this situation is being resolved.

alexpriest.com advised them to change the passwords to all social media accounts. At this time, only the four client accounts have been compromised. You may view each of their statements via the following links: Apple, Starbucks, Intuit, and Best Buy.

AlexPriest.com will always adhere to its policy of openness, transparency and engagement with our clients and users, even in this time of crisis. Clients, readers and partners alike can expect frequent updates from us via Facebook and Twitter, email, and phone calls from our CEO, Alex Priest.
