The company reports that an unknown attacker has been able to access Opera Sync systems and is afraid that some user data has been exposed. So he started restoring all passwords.

Το περιστατικό είναι μείζονος σημασίας, λόγω της φύσης των δεδομένων που είναι αποθηκευμένα στο σύστημα. Αν κάποιος εισβολέας αποκτήσει πρόσβαση στο λογαριασμό ενός χρήστη, θα είναι σε θέση να αποκτήσει πρόσβαση σε όλα τα ονόματα και τους κωδικούς πρόσβασης του θύματος για άλλες υπηρεσίες, το browsing, bookmarks and more.

If the user allowed Opera Sync to sync his passwords to other devices, this means that all of his passwords are available on Opera servers.

The company stated that all passwords for Opera Sync are hashed and salted, and the stored passwords from each user's accounts are encrypted.

If you are using this browser, with the Opera Sync feature you will need to change all the passwords you use on the web…. so to make sure your accounts are secure.
