Folks,

As you've probably seen we were hacked again.

I won't go into the technicalities now, but suffice to say our database was compromised - and this time not by a white-hat (friendly) hacker, but rather by someone with nefarious intentions.


Please, as a precaution, change your account password here - and anywhere else you use the same password - again, to prevent any unauthorised access to your online accounts.


We have taken further steps to hopefully prevent this from happening again in the future, and now have a number of additional mechanisms in place to protect us.


In the near future we will also likely be moving hosts to our own private server.  At that time we will look into implementing further server-based security systems to detect probable hacking attempts from usage patterns (I'll be looking at Apache's mod_security, for those of a technical persuasion - since I doubt we can afford a hardware WAF like F5's Application Security Module, or Imperva's SecureSphere).


Hopefully we'll be left alone for a little while now....
