Recently we had a discord user claim that they had dumped one or more databases that back EFU web applications (such as the forum, the wiki and efusl).  This is quite probable.  The web applications that support our persistent world were designed to be a fun compliment to the game - security was an afterthought.

We've said before and we'll say it again: DO NOT REUSE IMPORTANT PASSWORDS FOR YOUR EFU-RELATED ACCOUNTS.  For example, if you use the password "FuckM3l1ndaBr3$sl3y" for your bank account or to log into your work website, or for your medical provider's dashboard, DO NOT USE THIS PASSWORD FOR YOUR EFU FORUM ACCOUNT.

If you've done this, we recommend you change your bank account password or your work password or your medical provider's dashboard password ASAP.

The email address you used to register with the forums is in the forum database.   Assume that anyone who has gotten their hands on the database has that email address.

Also, please do not keep any information that you would not want to be seen by the public at large in the forums or on the wiki, or on any EFU-related web application.

Thanks for your attention in this matter
