Title: Immediate Intervention Required: Forum User Accounts Being Hacked En Masse

"Hey guys, just got word that several high-traffic accounts on the forum have been compromised. Reports are coming in that multiple users are receiving password reset emails and are having their accounts taken over by unknown users. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what's going on?"

"Dude, just got a phishing email like that too, think it's legit. Changed my password ASAP and enabled 2FA, don't @ me. Mods, can we get a post on how to stay safe?"

"Yikes, this is crazy. I noticed a few accounts have been compromised in the past 24 hours, so I'm guessing it's a phishing campaign or brute force attack. Can we get the mods to lock down the accounts that have been hacked?"

"yo, I just checked and my account is still secure, but I'm seeing a lot of known users getting pwned left and right. Has anyone reached out to the mods about setting up 2FA yet? Would definitely help mitigate this issue"

"Guys, I just got a PM from a mod saying they're on top of it and working with the dev team to get our security tightened ASAP. Let's keep an eye on our accounts for now and report anything weird to the mods. Fingers crossed they get this figured out quickly"

"Lol, not surprised tbh, our old passwords were due for an update. Has anyone tried reaching out to the admin team directly? Someone should also remind us all to enable 2FA ASAP."

Yikes, that's super concerning. Already changed my pw and 2FA is on tight, hope those affected get back to normal ASAP. Mods, any update on what's going on?
