Website Security Notice

[kq76]

I don't want to freak anyone out about this because it's not the end of the world or anything, but if you're a commish and don't know about the recent rash of website attacks that have included online leagues then you probably should know. The thread linked below discusses the problem. If you're not a commish or an otherwise online league site administrator and you don't know if your guys do know, then you may want to at least post a link to the thread on your forum. If you're a site admin and you haven't experienced this attack and don't care to read the entire thread, please do yourself a favour and at least take this opportunity to make sure that whatever website software you're using is up-to-date as that in itself may prevent this attack. It could be happening countless ways, maybe ways only your webhost can prevent, but it's probably best you do what you can than not. Thanks.

This patch (9.2.7) may fix a security hole in OOTP9 that may have allowed for some of the attacks. The first "may" is because OOTP hasn't publicly announed the patch so I don't what it does or doesn't fix, but at least one person that knows this stuff thinks that it probably does. The second "may" is because we don't know what may have allowed the attacks, it could have been something else, but it appears it may just have been OOTP itself. See the above linked thread for more info.
