MANDATORY PASSWORD RESET!

[Elfen_ 232]

I didn't receive a automated password reset in my email(I assume that is what would have happened) instead I had to click the "Forgot password" link.

 

Also as much as it was for the best, mines probably the same(forgot what was originally). I don't really consider LoTC a "Have super duper strong password" type of site.

Weren't you one of the GMs that got hacked? I would assume it doesn't work if you used this service previously.

Could you please expand on this security breach? If my password has been at risk then I'd like to know the origin of this cause. How it came to be, etcetera.

It happened just before our upgrade to IPB 4.0 there was a fair few bad exploits found in IPB 3.4.X at that time and during one of those the data was accessed in such a way that it didn't leave damage to the rest of the site hence why it took so long to see.

If they did not leave any evidence, how on earth did you find out they hacked the system then?
