I came home and I was surprisingly log out, when I tried and connect my keys were not recognised so I lost access to it , including my primal account.

I uninstall the extension but I’m still getting emails and paying ?!

Overnight we have received notices of some unusual requests to our infrastructure.

Over a short period of time many password reset emails had been requested from various residential proxies around the world. Our rate limiting protects against spamming attacks but requests got through to request password reset emails.

Many of the requests are likely for emails that had been included in some data breach or have been publicly exposed by their owner.

Password request emails also have been requested for lightning addresses which falsely exposed the user's email address. This had been a feature deployed to help users keep easy access to their accounts. But as many users post their lightning address on profiles like nostr this should not be exposed and a fix has been deployed immediately. Generally there should be no way to display a user's email address. We have failed here. About 5500 password reset emails had been requested by the attacker.

**We have not seen any abnormal related login activity and accounts are safe. People who got a password reset email can ignore the email.**

As we have seen a general increase in attacks on user accounts trying to brute force logins with some emails from some data leaks we have fully disabled password logins and require all users to login with the one time token. This adds an another layer of security.

Additionally we also offer the option to login with Google.

I have already canceled my subscription a few weeks ago …

Any advice on how to manage this.

Confirmed. I have a request to reset my password and I’m not subscribed anymore after having my keys surprisingly changed and lost access to one of my primal accounts.

Update on the nostr:nprofile1qytzqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k7tcqypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9numxx6g9 attack:

⚠️ IT’S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT! ⚠️

What I believe is happening is someone is using the public Lightning addresses from Nostr profiles to doxx everyone’s registered email address on Alby.

By simply entering a valid Alby address, the login page LEAKS the corresponding email address.

This means that the purpose of the attack is not so much to breach your Alby account, it’s to collect emails of Alby users for future phishing attacks.

Yup. That happened to me, I lost access to one of my accounts.

I unsubscribed Alby and I just had this email from Alby today…..
