Hi everyone. We’ve noticed a recent trend of user accounts getting hacked to post spam lately, forcing us to ban known accounts. Because of this you are urged to change your password as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
(FYI, it’s probably a good idea to change your password every once in awhile anyway, just to keep things more secure.)

I’m gonna be annoying and try my best to keep this active in New Posts to ensure people have seen it.

Do we know if there is a confirmed breach of this site's credentials?

Jay said he thought it might be a bot simply testing credentials against a password leak list. As far as I know we’ve found no evidence of a concentrated attack. I’m not super knowledgeable in this area, so hopefully Jay or Luau can chime in here.

I think I've identified and banned the IP that's engaged in mischief. If anyone has a friend in Singapore that can't login any longer, please let me know.

Well, I changed it, so everything is good now because my new password is Password123.

Ah, I wish I’d thought of capitalising the P. Good move.
