Does anyone have a better link for this, preferably one hosted on Ubiquiti's own site somewhere?

For what it's worth i can attest to receiving such an email from ubiquiti about 40 minutes ago.

This is a terrible public notification. What is the scope of the breach? Their forum software? The accounts Unifi customers can use for cloud-based admin of their private networks? Support tickets?

It doesn't inspire one iota of confidence. Quite the opposite.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not that I distrust you or am asking you to make a change, but it would help if they were to at least post the mailchimp link on their social media.

They have an official thread/announcement on their community forum: https://community.ui.com/questions/Account-Notification/9646...

Thank you!

@dang, the forum post is more appropriate here than the mailchimp link - it's source is unambiguously from UI.

On top of that, this is not like Hertz or Avis suffering a breach, networks and network security is sort of a big deal to ubiquiti. I know they are a more of a networking company than a computer security company but their offerings do emphasize secure networking.

I think trying to get the notice out to users directly and quickly is at least one iota.

Details can some later, once the threat is fully evaluated.

If it waited until all the facts are in to put out a full fact sheet, the HN griefers would be jumping ugly that it took too long and was covering things up.
