2+2 Hacked & Passwords Compromised!
"04/26/2012 2:13pm ET: Forums closed for maintenance
On April 26th at approximately 11:20 AM pacific time, the Two Plus Two Forums were closed as a result of a hacker who has displayed the ability to access e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords. He also indicated the ability to decrypt passwords.
While it is unclear the extent of data to which he gained access, e-mail addresses and passwords on the Two Plus Two forums should be considered compromised. If you have used your 2+2 password on any other site, you are advised to change it.
For your security we are closing the forums until the breach is patched.
We hope to be back up as soon as possible."
You mean I shouldn't have used the same password in all the banking sites??

Shameless brag. Your knowledge of the computer stuff is always appreciated Sir.
lol, actually it was toungue in cheek.... I have no access to security around here...At least by normal means...>:D
Twitter?
Given that this happened in spite of having applied all current security patches from the companies that provide our forum software, we are in the process of employing additional security experts to ensure that we are in compliance with the highest security measures possible.
At this point in time we anticipate forum downtime to be within 4-6 days.
During the forum outage, both the 2+2 Magazine and 2+2 PokerCast will be available. This includes the release of the next PokerCast episode and May issue of the magazine.

Did you log into Facebook from a new device or an unusual location?

So I logged in and they basically show you a map of the location where the attempted login was made, and for me it was the Netherlands.

After closer inspection, it’s now clear to us that the 2 + 2 Forums are more likely to come back to life next week rather than this week even though at this point in time we cannot give a definite date, and all efforts are being made to shorten the amount of downtime as much as possible. Mason will be on the next episode of the PokerCast (being recorded tonight) discussing this, and our May 2+2 Internet Magazine should be up before the weekend.
With the amount of staking that goes on there, this must be killing those looking to get staked in SCOOP
Wonder what they're doing all this time.. Must be rewriting the whole front end/interface, etc
Gentlemen we can rebuild him
