Dear BEA forum users,
Last week the BEA forum had some down time due to hacking attempts. The forum was restored (as well as order) by the system admin and programmers.
Despite all our efforts to patch the forum and prevent further hacks, the forum was hacked once again on April 23rd. This time it involved a user posing as a moderator in order to stir up trouble with other users. Be aware that if you received any requests by someone posing as the moderator "Palomine" to please report them to the other moderators or to Matt or me (use the link at the bottom of the forum).
We will do all possible to upgrade the forum and prevent any further hacking attempts. We want to preserve this wonderful community that has grown here over the years and won't let trolls ruin it for everyone.
Please post any issues you encounter in the site issues forum and not reply to this post.
Regards,
BEA Staff
Added by Palomine: thanks Gabe for this clarification and update. Despite the hacker posing as me recently and banning DJ (which has all been put right), I'll continue to be here and would only amend Gabe's notify mods suggestion to include me as well as the other mods if you see "me" posting something inexplicable or out of character so that I can be aware of what the fake Palomine is up to. As we've already asked, it's a good idea to let us know (via the pinned thread in Site Issues) if you see ANYthing strange posted by ANYone until this is all put to rest.
Thanks.
