In light of recent events, I want to take a second to advise all our members to change their passwords. While we should all be doing this frequently anyway, complacency can and does cause us to do things that may otherwise be common sense. I would also recommend changing any shared passwords that you may have used for BHW and other sites/services.
Here are a few tools if you need help coming up with a new password:

As we continue to sort out the extent of the damage and the attack vector used, I remind you that due diligence is your responsibility alone. If you receive any email or other correspondence from staff members or administrators that you consider suspect, please bring it to our attention before proceeding. The BHW IRC server is an excellent resource for this as there is almost always two or more staff members online at a given time.
