A team of Israeli hackers has recently in the last 3 days exploited a vulnerability on the site. They have been banned. Steps are being taken to secure the server. I cannot discuss the nature of the vulnerability or the steps being taken to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.

If you had accounts on: SceneHD.org or FTN the attackers were using an iframe exploit to attempt to gain access to them. Please change your passwords on these sites. There will be more information in the future.

EDIT: After analysis of the exploit. They were only attempting to send invites from these sites if you had them, please watch your accounts for suspicious invite activity.

This shook our community hard and rest assured staff is working hard to get this resolved. This seems like a terrible time to ask for donations, but desperate times call for desperate measures and our hosting situation is changing. Please utilize the donate.php link at the top of your screen if you can spare money or at least some words of support in the forums. Together we can emerge stronger than ever and launch PWN.

PWN will be launching very soon. Please await further updates here. To launch PWN we have some upcoming expenses (IRC and a server move). Please dig deep if you can and help us, recent events have expedited some of the plans for the future. Thank you to those who have contributed past and present (not just financial). I believe this site can pull together and emerge stronger and better than ever.

Donate here.

Also we need to remain vilgilant throughout this time. Although I do not believe there are any more immediate threats to the site or its members. Should you see anything that does not seem correct please contact staff on IRC or via PM.

Edit: Some further offsite discussion here.
