Quick and dirty message:
Server got hacked into by some hackers and they put some trojan on there. Because i was out of the country I was not able to take down the server nor able to issue the necessary requests for datacenter assistance. The exploit has NOT yet been discovered or made public and the usual scans don't show anything wrong on our server, and thus I am going to reinstall everything on the server. It should not take more than a week. The staff is backing everything up at the moment. In good news, I will probably install a newer version of the forum. Sorry guys.
Also, I highly recommend you run Firefox (www.firefox.com) as a browser from now on, so hackers don't have incentive to keep hacking servers around the world. In addition, please run all virus scans if you were on glowsticking.com from 5/22 to 5/25. I highly advise you to not log into financial instition web sites and if you did, please change your passwords immediatly, preferably on a different computer.
To keep in touch with the latest news, I recommend joining the Glowsticking.com chat room on AOL instant messanger or the SoulSeek Chat rooms. I will login periodically to notify people on the progress of everything.
On the plus side, the media center will be forced to be redone, and newer, faster versions of everything will be installed.
