TL is not, I repeat, is NOT shutting down. Apparently it was a hacker trying to mess up torrenleech (people will read the message and leech like madmen). I got confirmation by TL's IRC.

Spread the good news guys, to prevent to some extent the mass leeching.

seems like the hackers have stolen some passwords, so if anyone uses the same username and password from torrentleech on other sites i would suggest changing them just as a precaution

2006-11-10 - SECURITY ALERT

Due to a recent minor security problem, we strongly suggest to all users to change their passwords, just for precaution. Users have reported that their passwords have been stolen, after following several links posted in the irc channels. Please try to use a password that is not easy to figure out! Also under any circumstances, DO NOT CLICK on links you receive from strangers, as the most propable thing is that your password will be stolen!

They are encrypted. But theres are a few ways around that if theses some errors in the scripting.
The site was hacked by the same person thats been trying to hack alot of other sites.
In a way its good though cause he ussually shows the coders what needs to be fixed when we check our logs. ;) So in the long run hes just making the sites more secure.

News:
2006-11-11 - HUGE SECURITY UPDATE

We upgraded the whole login proccess and the way the server handles cookies,in order to maximize your protection.From now on,every time your IP changes you'll have to re-login to site,so don't wonder if that happens form time to time.Few suggestions for that,is that you allow your client to auto-save the login info(so you'll just click"login" with details filled)and for the proxy users,use a proxy that doesn't change IP every 10 seconds or what :P

"Username or password incorrect"

Happened to me as well.
They did some password changes. use the 'forgot password' option to get a new password by email.

I could then login in IE but had problems with FF. when i deleted the cookies in FF the problem was solved.
