Lusternia Forums Hacked

Written by: Estarra, the Eternal
Date: Tuesday, May 9th, 2006
Addressed to: Everyone


Please be aware that someone hacked into the forums recently and
submitted a batch email containing a virus to everyone registered in the
forums. DO NOT OPEN ANY EMAIL FROM THE FORUMS! Quarantine and delete any
such emails.

Further, apparently the hacker embedded code in the forum default skin
(Celestial Gold) which downloaded viruses simply by opening up the
forums with that skin. No other skins were infected.

We've turned off the forums until we install the security patch and
reinstall the Celestial Gold skin. We sincerely regret any problems this
has caused you.



Penned by My hand on the 5th of Roarkian, in the year 146 CE.
