https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1067985.0On May 22 at 00:56 UTC, an attacker gained root access to the forum's server.
The attacker was able to acquire KVM access credentials for the server.
After he got KVM access, the attacker convinced the ISP NFOrce that he was me (using his KVM access as part of his evidence) and said that he had locked himself out of the server. So NFOrce reset the server's root password for him, giving him complete access to the server and bypassing most of our carefully-designed security measures.

You need to check in Meta which is where this thread belongs. Please move it there at the bottom left. |

In short, this forum was successfully hacked. And I don't expect people would discuss seriously about it in this off topic section. |

I use nothing as such to worry if something is hacked, but felt bad that forum was off for so long.

THey will, yes. No they don't. They have the encrypted hashes from what I understand. If your password was weak they might be able to bruteforce them. You should change your password regardless. |

No. You need to move it to Meta. This sub is for technical discussion regarding bitcoin not the forum. |
