In this brief: 4 sections 2 min read
mSeven says it learned of suspicious activity and found that an encrypted copy of a database with current and former users' information was taken. It says it has no evidence the attacker accessed the confidential contents.
The company told customers the issue only pertains to users who synced through mSecure Cloud. It has not given a number of people affected. Deleting the app doesn't change anything.
The vault is encrypted, but an attacker holding the file can keep guessing master passwords offline. A short or reused master password is the main risk.
Set a new long, unique master password
Change passwords for email, banking and other key accounts stored in it
Reset two-factor codes kept in the app and replace stored passkeys
