Attention: Change your passwords

[Red Squirrel]

Another website on this server has been compromised and it is a good possibility that this forum's database has been accessed and recorded.

Passwords are stored in a irreversible hash so they are not in clear text, however a reverse attack to try every possible hash combination until it matches, is a possible way to reverse the hash. This can take long, but it is important that passwords be changed before they are reversed from the stored hashes from the possibly compromised database. It is also advised that if you use this password anywhere else, that you change it there too.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. A full security audit will be conducted and the hacked site has been disabled until a solution is found to stop the attacks.

Thanks for the heads up! This sort of thing happens all the time, but some administrators choose to sweep it under a rug.
