If you received an email from "H.A." about the board's closure, it is fake; this post explains why you may have received it. Update 1: More accounts may have been compromised. Please update your passwords, etc just in case, and notify us if you have any issues. Update 2: The following accounts are suspected to have been compromised during this attack; Please change the passwords of any accounts that share passwords with these accounts. Spoiler: click to toggle Update 3: One member has come forward and reported an attempt at breaking into their email account around the same time as this attack: Spoiler: click to toggle This post contains a fair bit of obscenity for an announcement post, just in case you're sensitive to that. So, what happened? In simplest terms: -A previous staff member compromised the old email account of board owner, Trixie Prower. -Using the email, this person broke into Trixie Prower's account. They then made the following changes: Spoiler: click to toggle They ran through and changed the passwords of everyone at the bottom of that list, removed some swear filters and left a message in the Board Rules and the ACP. The message reads: Spoiler: click to toggle They then shifted the Staff Room around a bit, sent out that fake email, and deleted the board. What we did in response: Spoiler: click to toggle In other news: -Missy has retired. -We have a poll up on the Discord to decide the future of TTFF. Please check it out at the #poll_important channel. Some people truly amaze me. |

I thought it was for real, but then found out it wasn't. Strange, I didn't get that email. I only knew from the Twitter account and the URL of this forum was not found. I would like to see this forum continue as long as possible. |

Been away a a long, long while. And honestly, this sounds bad. I was thinking of any alternatives to other forums, and was sad to hear this one might go, but now that we know otherwise, all I can say is, that was bad of the former staffer. Even if one wants to expose corruption, surely there are better ways to do so. And honestly, maybe it's because I never hung around here long enough, but I never saw any corruption here to be exposed, and even if I did, I think what he did was stupid, and probably more for his own ego. He probably gre corrupt himself. |

We may be moving to a different platform soon; This is a big reason why this place is as stagnate as it is. If you're interested, I hope that you'll consider staying tuned for more information on that. We'd love to have you! On the issue of the attacker: It's a former staffer who we banned for breaking into another admin's account a while back. This corruption that she's referencing is due to events that transpired between 2008-2010, a very long time ago. I honestly believe she's mentioning it more as a joke in this context than anything else; She's just being a jerk here, basically. She also broke into another forum affiliated with us at one point during its operation, The Tails Realm, and attempted to post publicly a list of emails/PMs of members that she acquired through some... means. This long list of logins we have here leads me to believe that she attempted the process here, but failed to finish it. Just my guess. |

Man why do people have to be jerks? I got the initial email and thought the board closed down because it was dead. You'd be lucky to see more than 3 posts in a month. Sorry to hear about what happened, hopefully you can finally lock that person out of the forums for good this time. |

Well, I haven't been here in ages. Got the mail a while ago and thought "well, that's sad", and then it all turns out to be just another instance of pesky internet drama. Guess even this place isn't safe from that :\ |

Yeah, we're really sorry about that, truly; we apologize for the first bogus email. We've done everything that we can to make sure that it doesn't happen again, I promise. If you do ever get another email of that nature, it'll be legit the next time. Hopefully we'll never have to do that. |

(before I write anything the last time I logged on here Cute lil fox was in charge of the forum so I can guarantee it wasn't me that was logged on at said date if that helps in any manner) This is odd I had no attempts at my e-mail oddly enough but the e-mail of the site closing did seem....off I'm glad to hear the place is still running and sad to hear this happened.....AGAIN. I'm afraid I cant be any help for I know absolutely no one that would have such a agenda It did bring back bad memories of a smaller forum inspired by this one by the moniker TTPP it...almost has the same style creepily enough. I just hope this gets solved soon. I'd offer to help but i have no tech skills. I cant even keep my computer running right XD that and this place....probably should work on getting a secure encryption protocol. my browser is saying this site has no encryption protocols. I am also in contact with he owner of the tureaim account and can verify they did not log-in either the player forgot they even had a account here and there password. (P.S. If i CAN help please e-mail me and i'll do all I can help after making sure it's a legitimate e-mail from staff. that or just a friend e-mail on the status of the issue. I may not come here anymore but I find myself still loyal to this place and tempted to come back but my shyness is killing my attempts.) Edited by Red Fox, Sep 17 2017, 06:57 AM.

I do not blame you for seriously considering another platform for the forums. I won't pretend I'm all tech-savvy and such, but I wonder if that might be for the best. Some members already decided to leave out of fear for their safety, so a new platform for the forums might not be a bad idea. |

Yes, I gotta give a lot of thanks and praise to Parin for keeping a cool head and taking a strong lead on the situation. It's essentially all over now, but there's still a bit to be done in that poll topic as Parin mentioned. http://s15.zetaboards.com/Two_Tailed_Fox_Forum/topic/10301243/1/? |
