Objet : Security issue on Ubuntu Forums - IMPORTANT for all members on it

Due to a security breach Ubuntu Forums is down.Please let your loco members
know what they must do if they have an account on Ubuntu Forums.

http://ubuntuforums.org/announce.html


Ubuntu Forums is down for maintenance

There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS
team is working hard as we speak to restore normal operations. This page
will be updated regularly with progress reports.
What we know

   - Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username,
   password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.
   - The passwords are not stored in plain text. However, if you were using
   the same password as your Ubuntu Forums one on another service (such as
   email), you are *strongly* encouraged to change the password on the
   other service ASAP.
   - Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are *NOT
   affected* by the breach.

Progress report

   - 2013-07-20 2011UTC: Reports of defacement
   - 2013-07-20 2015UTC: Site taken down, this splash page put in place
   while investigation continues.
