    There was a DDoS attack on the company that hosts the forum. Looks like things are taken care of!

    BikeArlington ‏ @BikeArlington @americancyclo It appears to be a UDP flood type ddos attack that is affecting our host that we run the forum through.

    Lastest update–it was a cPanel security breach that affected servers around the round.

    We’re not that high level of a target I guess…

    should there be any concern to our email/password security?

    Not that I have been informed of. However, you are always free to change your password whenever you see fit.

    Sorry guys, a DDOS doesn’t deface a page. I see DDOS’es daily since my stuff is a huge target. SQL injection maybe.

    You should be concerned if you use the same password here that you use on other, more important, sites (like your email, your bank, or your work) See http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/passwords-create.aspx Although CMU does not agree on one point. CMU’s research says that long passwords are strong – but that they do not need to be complex. Could be a phrase from a favorite song or poem.

    Use different USERIDs and passwords on different accounts – particularly where the accounts are sensitive.
