Back in 2016 we posted about a data breach impacting our forum, for which we had to temporarily close the forums. It has come to our attention that the scope of this attack was larger than previously assumed. We have been notified that the main site was also affected and a data breach consisting of the user accounts from before or during 2016 has been obtained.
The information includes: username, hashed password, email address, last used IP address, and date of birth.
We're sorry about this as we take security very seriously. We are currently investigating if we can pinpoint the exact way this breach happened. However, this occurred years ago in 2016 and we have since replaced most of the legacy systems we had in place back then. We'll keep this thread updated if there are any updates.
As a precaution we will soon force password resets on accounts made up to, and including, the year 2016. It's good practice to change your password from time to time regardless, even if your account is a newer one.
