[Guest Evilblade]

FTN News post-

We've detected that around 150 accounts have recently become victims of a mass hack. We're still investigating the source and cause of this hack. In the mean time, as a security measure, we've disabled all the accounts that were compromised. If you know any one that got disabled today, advise them to visit #FTN Support to get their account fixed.

As an aside, all members who join #FTN-Support should either use or state their username and the purpose of their visit immediately after joining the channel. Members are requested to be patient until their problems are resolved.

Update: It looks like the hackers ran a username/password list. The accounts which got compromised had the same password here as on some other site from which the list was obtained. The members are advised at all times to use different passwords for different sites.
