    Dear All,

    Have any of you been redirected to a page saying your passwords have expired? I haven't clicked the reset link.

    Got it too. Wouldn't click any link until everything gets figured out. Definitely looks like some sort of nefariousness has gone down with the main forum.

    Phew! Glad I'm not the only one. I've sent watchuseek a DM on Instagram. I'll update this when I hear back.

    I wouldn't click anything until more word comes out, who knows if they have control of the site.

    Would anyone here really be bothered if they couldn't access WUS ever again?

    Isn't this the second time this has happened in a year? Makes more sense why OF decided to axe Tapatalk functionality.

    Don't want to point fingers, but that's a definite possibility. Last time I used Tapatalk I never got the impression they did much on securing all those credentials they stored.

    They made a sticky: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f2/password-changes-4566037.html

    For the members peace of mind in the future all of your passwords on Omegaforums will be spoken, then translated into Huttese for voice analyses and digitized at 28,000bps. If you complete correctly an acceptance message will flash on the screen,

    Oh shit, sounds like WUS was hacked. If any of you were using the same password on WUS as OF, please change your passwords now.
