[closed]The Home page has been hacked!

Never saw the hacked front page, but my password kept getting rejected. For a minute I thought I was Cinnesthesia non grata.

Am I missing something??? What's going on?

Craven, you solved the problem quite fast. Thumbs up, again.

I did the same. Anyone know if I need to change my password like cjhsa? If so, maybe that announcement should be made?

Meh, when I got the popup window, I just figured A2K was in a semi-lockdown for security reasons, and the problem was being fixed. Lo and behold, it was and all is fine.

I didn't change my password, should I?

Changing passwordsis almost never a bad idea. As to the popup password that was a temporary lockdown.

Craven, we do appreciate the work you do here. Too much of a wuss to change my password.

It's really easy to change, Miss LettyBetty. It's on your profile page at the top.

It is, Mac? Upon my word. I didn't see nuttin' except All About Letty.....
There's not much to tell,
All about Letty,
I know her so well.

Oops, Got caught up in a song.

It's up near the top...

I'll hum along as I don't know the words.

I had to get a quick one in, just in case the system went down again.

Well, this is good news, after spending the entire morning bumping up security........mumble

This post of yours made me laugh...

I just got bounced off the site again. I got in through my e-mail replies.

What-up?

I just did that while doing maintenance and removing things from the exploit.

Question: If I put in my password during this hack attack this morning, is there any possibility that it could have been stolen? And if so, does that mean that my other registration information could be used by whoever the hacker was?

I bet you he's freaking out right now. haha

Not really. The password box was one I put up to lock things down while I worked.

I saw no accessing of anyones profile data in any logs.

And the thing is, even if there was it could only be used on a2k, even if you use the same password elsewhere.

This is because the passwords are encrypted, nobody has access to them.

They could be used here on A2K because they could take the same encrypted string and spoof a cookie, but that would only work locally on Able2Know.

Thing is, I've seen no evidence that even that was attempted, but like I said earlier, it's almost never a bad idea to change your password.
