I have a costume I'm wearing for Halloween. But I probably shouldn't share it. It would probably be looked down on lol.

There has been a global cyber hack that has affected millions of people today, some notable ones like Twitter, Facebook, Spotify, SoundCloud, Vox Media sites, Airbnb, Fandom/Wikia and numerous others.  I recommend everyone change their passwords everywhere. It does not seem we were hit, but might be a smart idea to change your password here too.

But myeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Changing passwords is a hassle.
I'll probably see what happens. If the sites aren't working then you probably can't even change the password until they're done messing around, right?

Thanks for the note, Darrin.  I took your advice and added an extra number to my passwords. ;)

The sites should be all online today now after the hack.  Many were out this morning, but seem to be online now.

Some other websites involved in that massive cyber attack were Twitter, Etsy, Github, Vox, Spotify, Airbnb, Netflix and Reddit.

Initially, outages were primarily impacting those on the East Coast, but by midday Friday, people in Europe were reporting outages as well.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet. A government official said the U.S. is “looking at all possible scenarios including possible cyber activity.”

On Friday afternoon, WikiLeaks posted a tweet asking its supporters to stop the DDoS attacks, although it was not immediately clear if they were behind it.

AFAIK, this was just a Denial-of-Service attack, so your passwords should be fine.

That's not to say there definitely wasn't a simultaneous penetrative attack that I haven't heard of (I've not looked into the event too closely).  DoS attacks /are/ sometimes used as cover for other attacks.  But I've not heard anything so far that suggests that's the case.

I know one of my accounts on another site was hacked during the attack.  I couldn't access it then the day I finally could, the site sent out a message for everyone to change their passwords, and they insisted no ones data was stolen.  Just the sites went down, but they still said to change passwords.

To get new members to post, what if you blocked them from viewing the art/stories section until they get like five posts?  Make it well known so it will force them to post some stuff and be active.
