Hey all, Radu made this announcement. Just reposting FYI.
We've noticed that someone hacked our website (forum) on 11th of November, using an IPB exploit that we were not notified about.
The forum database (actually, parts of it) were downloaded, and I would assume all the forums encrypted passwords were taken, along with the forum username, e-mail address, etc.
While the passwords were encrypted, weak passwords are vulnerable to all kinds of attacks, so it would be a good idea to change your forum password, and also change it in any other places where you used the same password.
The game server was not hacked, so there shouldn't be any issues affecting the game.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Radu
