The DreamHost data breach exposed customer emails and credentials during an attack that began in August 2026 and went undetected until October 23, 2026 , according to the web host’s breach notice. Hackers accessed its File Manager platform and stole FTP/SFTP login details belonging to customers who used it during that period. DreamHost disclosed the attack after it caused an outage lasting several days. The company reset some customer passwords during the disruption. A spokesperson said those affected represented “well under 10%” of its approximately 400,000 paying customers .
