OPF Owner/Editor-in-Chief
This is to inform you that someone accessed out FTP server and logged in as an administrator on Thursday 26th December and put in a script to send out emails. I have not gotten the content but our hosting company detect the torrent and disabled further damage. I have no idea whether or not this was some big joke or New Years greetings or actually malicious. So I'm using Sophos antivirus software on all my computers to see if the breach came from my end. Our passwords have been changed so the threat is over.
Still, please everyone check your computers to make sure that you have not received SPAM from us inadvertently. We take extraordinary precautions in trying to verify all registrations. This breach, however, appears to have been by someone having stolen password access to our FTP server and could have been taken as far back as 2009 or even 2007 and never been used until now!
We're taking extra precautions to insure the integrity of OPF remains a safe and secure place for us all.
Thanks for your understanding!
