[Announcement About Account Security] Haven/Salem
Posted: Wed May 22, 2013 1:51 amCurrently the Haven forums are blowing up with reports of account hacking.
Some of this is apparently coming from a custom client that has a keylogger inside of it, but the hackers have also gotten the emails of many members of the community and have been requesting to change the passwords of accounts.
If you get an email from the Salem forums or the Haven forums asking you to change your password, delete the email and do not click the link.
Change the email linked to your account and these emails should (hopefully) stop coming. I've received emails for both my Salem and Haven accounts myself.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINKS INSIDE OF THESE EMAILS.
