Update regarding downtime:

After our second, at first unexplainable downtime, within two days, we'd like to share some findings with the community:

1. After accessing our server following the website went down yesterday evening, internal alarms were raised when the checksum of some critical files didn't add up.

2. There was a hacking attempt and the hacker edited the admin area authentication logic of the login script, in order to be able to bypass authentication requirements.

3. It seems to us, that this is clearly an inside job, as nobody else except our host has the main root password.

4. We analyzed the logs and we were able to trace the hacking attempts, but we couldn't stop it from repeating.

5. To fix this we have encoded all files on server and changed our root password, and informed our hosting provider if this happens one more time, we have to move away.

6. We are now waiting for them to conclude their investigations.

We just cannot put the site back online until we are sure that this threat has been taken care of. This is in the interest of all our players and stakeholders.
