The country of Israel has been banned. Their IPs are now firewalled from accessing the site and the server. Please do not invite them in the future. Users found to be bypassing this ban will be disabled. Users inviting users from Israel will be disabled. This was a decision made in the interests of protecting the site from traders, invite sellers, ratio cheats and hackers within that country.
A team of Israeli hackers has recently in the last 3 days exploited a vulnerability on the site. They have been banned. Steps are being taken to secure the server. I cannot discuss the nature of the vulnerability or the steps being taken to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
If you had accounts on: SceneHD.org or FTN the attackers were using an iframe exploit to attempt to gain access to them. Please change your passwords on these sites. There will be more information in the future.
EDIT: After analysis of the exploit. They were only attempting to send invites from these sites if you had them, please watch your accounts for suspicious invite activity.
This shook our community hard and rest assured staff is working hard to get this resolved. This seems like a terrible time to ask for donations, but desperate times call for desperate measures and our hosting situation is changing. Please utilize the donate.php link at the top of your screen if you can spare money or at least some words of support in the forums. Together we can emerge stronger than ever and launch PWN.
