SwC Poker has upgraded password security. In a recent incident, several accounts with weak passwords exhibited unusual activity. Out of an abundance of caution, we are requiring all players to reset their passwords, substantially increasing the minimum requirements. We strongly encourage the use of 2-factor authentication, and it may soon become mandatory.
Funds are safe, as the vast majority of player funds are held offline. The players affected by this incident will be made whole by SwC.

are you saying there was a database compromise, or suspicion of one? or is this more like the binance "hack" last year where phished users had their accounts drained?
not a big deal for me since everything associated with my SwC account is a throwaway, but i also feel very lucky that i was able to find the right email and reset my password just now.
is anyone who can't log into their associated email just locked out of their SwC account?
So the site has been hacked recently? What about the data stored, are they hacked as well? I feel like the site admin has to address this problem if they want to build a safe platform where players feel confident about the site and need not worry. Even though funds are safely stored, the data lost to hackers could be damaging to players.
