Last night's events
#1
Someone obtained a moderator's password and logged in. He was able to ban several users, but Ashely took away moderator powers before any permanent damage could be done.

The exact way the cracker obtained the password is unknown, but he did not actually "hack" the Buildism website. If someone had access to do that, they would almost certainly use my account or Ashely's, since we have more powers.

I looked at the logs, and all of the IPs that were used to access the stolen account have been banned. They are probably proxies, but we have no way of knowing who did it with 100% certainty.

Please keep all discussion about the cracking incident in this thread.

The passwords are now encrypted.

I take full responsibility for this, I (stupidly) signed up for a website Kieron had made, using the same password as on buildism.

I am deeply sorry for my stupidity.

Kieron's lack of foresight indirectly caused it (by not encrypting the test site passwords), but he didn't do it.

That either
1. Had an encryption system pre-made (Along with the rest of the MyBB forums).
2. Just recently got it.
