As you know, someone hacked TSU a couple of times this past weekend. We've gotten most of it cleaned up and made some changes behind the scenes.

Since we don't know exactly how much or if any info was stolen, it might be a good idea to change your password. Make up something out of the ordinary so it'd be harder for a hacker to crack. Something like this......... Re39%=QW=%8* :wow: ;)

The longer the password and the more characters it has, the harder it is for someone to crack. Use a combination of letters (capital and lower case) and numbers.

Be sure to write it down before you send the changes. :p ;)

Thank you for your time.

Just a little info: Our forums are OK. That Guy went in the frontpage and did some damage over there.

Dave is right, make your passwords safe and not only here, do it where ever you use them. :type:

When was the last time you cleaned out your cookies & cache?

I do that at least once a week.

We had the same thing happen just a few weeks over at C&D. They traced the hack attack back to somewhere in Russia, but don't know who or why.

We've had to make several changes to the BB we run, upgrade system security and firewalls, and I believe we're going to switch from Ideal BB to some other BB program.
