Multiple Dashlane users have been locked out of their accounts following brute-force attacks that attempted logins from distant locations and unknown devices.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, the password management service confirmed that the suspensions were part of an automated security response designed to protect against account hijacking.
“We can confirm that certain Dashlane user accounts were targeted in a brute force attack by an external party, resulting in the suspension of those accounts as part of Dashlane’s built-in security controls. The affected accounts have now been unsuspended,” stated Jordan Fylolenko, Dashlane Senior Director of Corporate Communications.
“Our team is actively engaged in this issue and taking measures to further protect customers. There is no evidence of compromise of Dashlane’s systems.”
Worried Dashlane users reported earlier today on Reddit that they received notices of suspicious access requests from foreign countries. The emails contained verification codes for legitimate account owners to register new devices.
