Plex media servers are being actively targeted due to unfixed security flaws. Hackers are employing the Plex2Shell exploit chain to achieve unauthorized remote access, set up cryptocurrency mining, and establish proxy backdoors on unpatched servers. Users are advised to update their systems promptly to reduce vulnerabilities. Recent reports underline the severity of the issue, with hackers targeting servers lacking security updates.
