Ubiquiti sent out a notification email to its customers, informing them of the security breach and urging them to change their passwords.
American technology company Ubiquiti manufactures and sells wireless data communication and wired products for enterprises and homes under multiple brand names.
The company recently discovered unauthorised access to some of its information technology systems managed by a third-party cloud provider.
“We are currently aware of evidence of access to any databases that host user data, but we cannot certain that user data has not been exposed, ” reads the data breach notification sent to the customers.
The information exposed may include name, email address, phone number, home address and one-way encrypted password to your account (in technical terms the passwords are hashed and salted).
It is unclear how many users have been impacted due to the breach. The company says users should update their passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
Ubiquiti account users can remotely access and manage their routers and devices from the web.
The company followed an email with a post on its community pages confirming that email was authentic after several complained that the email sent to customers included typos.
