Video sharing platform DailyMotion announced on Friday that it was the victim of a credential stuffing attack, ZDNet has learned.

According to an email sent out to impacted customers, and seen by ZDNet, the credential stuffing started last weekend, on January 19, and appears to have been successful in some cases, with hackers gaining access to a limited number of accounts.

The company said its security team discovered the attack and it took "all necessary steps" to block it. Since last Saturday, the company has been logging off users who it believes were impacted and resetting their passwords.

The email sent to all affected customers contains a link for users to reset their password and regain control of their account.
