Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

A small number of Pantheon customer accounts were compromised through credential stuffing attacks using passwords stolen from external data breaches unrelated to Pantheon. The unauthorized access potentially allowed attackers to modify customer site code and files. Pantheon worked directly with affected customers to secure their accounts and remediate unauthorized changes, with no further suspicious activity detected after the 30-hour incident.

We are currently investigating reports of unauthorized access to a small number of Pantheon customer accounts. Our evidence suggests these accounts were accessed using credentials stolen from external third-party data breaches (unrelated to Pantheon). This technique, known as "credential stuffing," relies on reused passwords. Required Actions for All Customers • Audit Your Sites: Check for unexpected code or file modifications. If you find any suspicious changes, contact Pantheon Support immediately. • Enable MFA (High Priority): Multi-factor authentication is your best defense against password theft. • Enable MFA here: https://docs.pantheon.io/guides/account-mgmt/account/mfa • Update Your Password: If you use your Pantheon password on any other site, change it immediately to a unique, strong passphrase. Next Steps: We are continuing our investigation and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
