The MLS Got Hacked. Here's Why You Can't Rely on Just Passwords Anymore.
Last week, major MLS platforms Matrix and FlexMLS were hit by "compromised access" — forcing agents across the country into emergency password resets. While internal systems weren’t breached, hackers used old or stolen logins to send phishing emails, shaking trust in a tool agents rely on daily for client communication.
Let’s be honest: most of us assume the tools we use are secure — until they’re not. But here’s the hard truth: passwords are not enough anymore.
And it’s a wake-up call: If your business relies on tech you don’t control, you're one breach away from chaos.
That’s why this moment matters.
