Cineplex is a major movie theatre chain here in Canada. And it appears that they are under attack based on this email that I just received:

This to me suggests that Cineplex is under some sort of a credential stuffing attack. And it’s happened before. Thus I reset my password when I got this email despite the fact that I no longer use the Cineplex app due to their absolutely stupid fee for booking online, which is now the subject of a lawsuit.

My advice: Even though this email is legitimate, If you get one of these emails, don’t click the link in the email. Instead you should just go to Cineplex.com and use the reset password link from there to ensure that you’re not a victim of some sort of phishing attempt by some threat actor who would leverage this to aid in this attack.
