Following a security breech we have upgraded to the latest software version. Our old forum software had reached its end of life updates and was no longer being supported with security updates.
Someone apparently was able to gain access to the forum and change the administrative passwords. I was online when this happened. I immediately deleted the entire forum directly. I was able to access the database and reset the administrative passwords. Once that was done the forum was restored from a clean backup and the software update was done immediately.
I have been testing this software and since we were kind of forced to upgrade you might find some bugs. I had worked out a few and it seemed pretty stable. I hope everyone will find himself or herself at home with our latest software.
It does not appear any data was compromised as everything is encrypted, but you may want to change your password as a precaution.
