[2/06] IMPORTANT: Security Issue

Thanks TDFear for passing on this information (I will just quote most of that post)
If you are registered at any of these sites below then you need to take this message seriously
And before we go any further let me make clear that this is not meant to stimulate any inter-site feuds. Just make sure you secure your accounts.
Although it has nothing directly to do with ST, some members here may be affected.
Apparently, the problems were created at the following three sites:
- **** (****)
- Eaxposed (EAX)
- Gaming-Underground (GU)
Someone has made the passwords of the users on these sites public, many with the IP address as well.
People who have registered at one of these sides are strongly advised to change their password! If the password you have on those sites is used anywhere - forums, msn, hotmail, XWIS, then you need to change your passwords.
For obvious reasons, I will not link to the source with passwords but take this very seriously!
How to change your password on this forum
Go to: My Controls => Options => Change Password
Everyone with Mod positions or private staff access on ST needs to respond to the PM from me immediately
