Downtime 29-30 November

Post by Miguel »

Hi everyone,

As those of you who wandered over to the LJ community will know, the recent downtime was caused by our web hosts changing a whole bunch of our passwords for us because of a security breach about 6 weeks ago. Sadly this was handled rather incompetently, in that they changed the passwords, then told us that the new passwords would be mailed out to us over the weekend (for security).

Because we still had access to the control panel, we've reset all of the passwords ourselves - so for now, the site's back up. But depending how the web hosts handle the password resets, it may all happen again either over the weekend or early next week. If the site goes down again (specifically the SQL errors you were all seeing), just be patient and we'll reset the passwords (again) as soon as we can. Report in at the LJ community if you think we (Jazzy or I) haven't noticed.
