Security Updates

September 18, 2009 at 9:47 PM

Hi everybody,

Yet another unexpected event has occurred. :( In addition to my sickness (which is putting updates behind), Egg Cave's server was compromised recently. The bug that was abused was actually on another web site that is hosted on Egg Cave's server. Rest assured that this security hole has been fixed and cannot be abused again.

As a security precaution, we recommend that all users change their Egg Cave passwords. This will secure your account from any outsiders, in the case that your username and password combination was compromised.

[UPDATE] There seems to be some confusion about this event. Egg Cave itself wasn't hacked. Another web site on Egg Cave's server was hacked. This has absolutely nothing to do with this site; this is simply a safety precaution.

Best,
Ian
