Vince,
I was browsing the forum (8:00pm Central time) and the interface suddenly changed.
Have you been playing again???

Guy's Vince did not change this. We may have gotten hacked but Vince is working on it. It will be restored by the morning.
Vince is going to call his peeps at the FBI office and find the person who did this.
It's ok Vince and I have the latest cyber forensics technology and we will track the the hacker.

The forum has been restored to its intended design. Sorry for the brief glitch. There was an attempt made to hack the site which actually failed. Instead, all the hacker was able to do was default the forum to the original theme that is first installed.
I just had revert back to the customized "shavemyface.com" theme with the click of a button.
For all you hackers out there, I kindly ask you to stop tampering with the site. I probably can't stop you completely but with daily, automated backups to both the database and source code I can easily recover at any given time.

Chris,
From what I can tell the hackers did not access the PM's. However, as a precaution I would recommend NOT sharing CC#'s via PM. Such information should only be sent over HTTPS (secure website) where the data is encrypted and difficult to intercept by a third party. I have already gone ahead and patched the forum to the latest version of phpBB. That should help for the time being but as you may or may not know, hackers are quite resourceful. Generally it's only a matter of time before they find some other exploit. Be safe, be smart.
Happy posting.
