Hey Francis, we’re really sorry this happened.
In this case, the Umbrel setup was reachable publicly on the clearnet, so it could be accessed from the outside. At the same time Alby Hub had also been installed but the setup wasn’t finished yet. Since the unlock password is created during that setup flow, no password had been set at the time which allowed the attacker to finish the setup and change the Alby Hub configuration.
We’ve submitted a PR to Umbrel to add an extra authentication layer to require the umbrel password to access alby hub. https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/4028
It is sad that people from the community attack such projects. Projects that create awesome things for the community and push the adoption of bitcoin. Projects that work for the benefit of all of us and not for their own profit.
We call on the attacker to return the funds!

We noticed that a lot of users used their lightning address instead of email address to log into their Alby Account. To make it easy for them we recognized their lightning address instead of rejecting it and sent them the one-time login code via email.
For better guidance we told them the email address, which was a mistake .

Good to know that she used Mt.Pelerin. If she did KYC, she should receive it on the same day depending on the payment method she used.
If she didn't do KYC, she needs to wait 7 days. That's Mt.Pelerin's policy to ensure they are not scammed.

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.
If you have questions or feedback, please let us know: support.getalby.com

We've been cookin' 👩‍🍳
Latest two releases of Alby Go, 1.10 and 1.11, brought you lots of goodies:
🗺️ @nprofile…anjv integration for quick access to global bitcoin merchants map
🔌 Confirm new NWC connections to your Alby Hub directly in Alby Go! No more copy-pasting or QR code scanning
🇿🇦 Support for @nprofile…5m3a Pay Pick n Pay QR payments in over 2000 stores in South Africa
https://m.primal.net/PenF.png
Alby Go is to pay with your node "on the go", but where to go? @nprofile…anjv answers that question by showing you nearby merchants accepting bitcoin and it's now conveniently accesible directly in your Alby Go.
Go, spend some sats!
https://m.primal.net/PenP.png
Huge UX improvement in connecting apps on mobile!
If you're using Alby Hub, you can enable "one tap connections" for your Alby Go. That will allow Alby Go to confirm new NWC connections on your mobile without the need to go to Alby Hub and copy&paste or scan the connection secret.
Available now to all apps that use Bitcoin Connect and soon in other apps too!
https://m.primal.net/PenV.png
https://m.primal.net/PenX.mov
🇿🇦 You can now use Alby Go to pay at 2,204 Pick n Pay grocery stores in South Africa!
Integration was available thanks to @nprofile…5m3a . At the store, just ask for a "QR" payment and scan it with Alby Go. Who's going to test it first?
https://m.primal.net/PenY.png
😮 There's much more smaller fixed and improvements in those last two releases:
🔃 BTC rates now refresh every 5 minutes for up-to-date pricing
🐝 Improved branding with Alby Go logos on success screens
✍️ Updated wallet removal copy for better clarity
🐛 Fixed iOS camera crashes and backgrounding errors
🖼️ Improved Skeleton animations across the app
Remember, Alby Go is open source. You can contribute to its code and see all the changes on our github: https://github.com/getAlby/go/releases
Get Alby Go and use it as a mobile interface for any @nprofile…uuxc wallet or node. Available on iOS, Google Play and Zap Store
