PhpBB Compromised

Several of the web servers powering phpBB.com were compromised on sunday. Upon discovering the ongoing attack, they immediately took network offline to perform a thorough investigation, which is continuing.

If you were using your www.phpBB.com or area51.phpBB.com passwords anywhere else, please change them to unqiue ones. Good news is your personal phpBB Forums are NOT affected by the compromise of their servers.
The rebuilding of systems will be done from the ground up and verifying the integrity of all data prior to coming back online. This process will likely take several days.
