Hey all,

In case you were unaware, the web was hit with news of a serious SSL/Encryption hole this week called the Heartbleed Bug. Unfortunately this bug did affect the TW servers and there is evidence that the bug has existed for over 2 years despite being reported this week. That means that in the last 2 years, there is a possibility that people could have had account info like passwords stolen from the site despite having a secure connection.

The server is no longer vulnerable as of the very day of the bug report and I have revoked and re-issued the security certificate used to encrypt traffic. I would strongly urge EVERYONE to change passwords not only on the forum but on all of your accounts on the web, though you should check first if in fact the sites you visit are still vulnerable to this bug: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/

If the site is still vulnerable, don't change your password on that site till the administrator of that site fixes the issue as it can still be compromised.
