Attempted forum hacking

Update in the next post.

If you received a PM from a user named Aurora (or maybe it is Anonymous now), DO NOT OPEN IT. We believe that this is a hacking attempt and are dealing with it currently to determine what caused the apparent script injection.

It appears that this user simply included an external image that required HTTP standard authentication to access, and the authentication message was spoofed to pretend like it was related to clanent.net in some way.

You should never enter your password outside of the official login box, at "Login" on the forum. If you ever are in doubt, click on the Login tab on the forum and cancel any dialogs before that. Additionally, if any domain shows up as anything other than beginning with clanent.net, then do not enter your password; instead, report it in the Complaints section or via PM to an administrator.

Note: if you did not receive any PM from this user, then you are not affected. If you did receive a PM but did not open it, or did open it but did not enter your password, then you are not affected. If you received a PM, opened it, and entered your password when a dialog box showed up, then you should change your password as soon as possible.

However, we believe this did not impact any normal users, and instead was only sent to administrators.
