Hello Coders,
Early today we suffered a software exploit which led to a hacker getting a hold of sensitive account data. I believe that I have fixed the issue but are currently taking extra precautions to ensure this doesn't happen again. I ask if all members could please reset their password for security reasons.
The exploit may have came from the XenForo provided API system which we do not use and or our compiler. Both have been permanently disabled. ~ Update: Multiple changes have been made in result to this breach. Directory indexing has also been disabled and file permissions were changed.
I am deeply sorry for my lack of expertise within this area and will do everything in my ability to ensure that this never happens again. If you have any suggestions on how to improve security I'd be more than happy to listen. I hope we can move past this and continue growing our amazing community.
