A tweet was made from the BrowserStack account accepting the same.
Though at present it is not known how many of user accounts may have been compromised in the hack.
We did get hacked.
Currently sanitising entire BrowserStack, so service will be down for a while.
We’re on top of it & will keep you posted.

Pastebin Paste
Meanwhile just after the BrowserStack tweeted about it being compromised, aPasteon Pastebin surfaced.
The Paste which is reproduced below says that BrowserStacks lied to its customers about various aspects of security.
Dear BrowserStack User,
We are unfortunately displeased to announce that BrowserStack will be shutting down.
[…] At any given time, you have sole access to a virtual machine.
Your testing session cannot be seen or accessed by other users, including BrowserStack administrators.
All your data is destroyed in this process.
Unfortunately, we have blatantly lied.
Not only do all of our administrators have access, but so does the general public.
We have no firewalls in place, and our password policies are atrocious.
These passwords take no less than 15 minutes to find for anyone who is looking.
As of now the BrowserStack website has gone offline and is now displaying a site maintenance message.
