Active Incidents
Forge/MemberDirect has been experiencing a series of brute force attacks over the past several days. The attacks appear to be focused on gaining access to small business delegate accounts. This has resulted in hundreds of delegate accounts being locked by Forge. To restore access requires that the delegate contact the signer who has the authority to reinstate their login. There is no apparent correlation between these attacks and the customers impacted by the security incident last weekend.
For your reference, there are several safeguards against unauthorized access: -- Forge/MD locks out a user after three unsuccessful login attempts (this is why so many organizations have had their delegate accounts locked). -- Most of our customers have implemented strong password controls. If your organization has not implemented strong PAC, we would highly recommend that you do so. -- If a threat actor is successful in logging in, we have put an additional control in place that requires that any device that has not been used to access the account previously will be forced through a two factor authentication.
There are also safeguards against unauthorized money movement: -- Delegates only have authority to initiate transactions, not to approve them. So signers still need to approve new or changed payees. -- eTransfers have built-in limits that restrict the amount of funds that can be transferred. -- As an additional control, many organizations have also implemented 2SV on transactions. This will generally require a one time password if a user adds or changes a payee. If your organization has not implemented this control, we recommend that you do so.

We are currently investigating an issue affecting some users on iOS devices where saved login information is not being retained as expected on the v18.1 Forge App.
Some members reported that the issue was resolved after upgrading their device to iOS 26.5 operating system. While we have not yet confirmed this as a universal solution, members experiencing this issue may wish to ensure their device is running the latest available version of iOS.
Members can continue to access the service by manually entering their card number and password if their saved login is unavailable.
Our team is actively investigating the issue and working to determine the root cause. Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while we work toward a resolution.
