If you have an account at the AW Clan forum, you should immediately change your passwords if you have used the same one elsewhere. There was reportedly a security issue recently that may have exposed your password, and their forums have been taken offline as a precaution.

Remember, do not use identical passwords at multiple locations. Do not use the same password at your clan forum as you do at the official game or server forums.

Also whatever e-mail you used to register over there needs it's password changed if you use the same pass for it too. Someone abused that against Nonamen and got his credit cards, other forum passes, paypal, ect.

Ouch. There are lots of ways to better protect your security over the internet. A breach like this one is probably the largest kind of eye-opener concerning esafety.

It's also not smart to say you only use two passwords for everything in your life.

I very much doubt it was meant to be nice, the person was adamant to cause as much trouble as possible.

The original security issue has been resolved, but please take what Chronojam had to say with importance.


Remember, do not use identical passwords at multiple locations. Do not use the same password at your clan forum as you do at the official game or server forums.

i have figured out this out the hard way unfourtunatley, some of my personal accounts were also hacked.

The people responsible will be put down for this, so you may see some users removed from the community soon, forcefully or otherwise.
