Forum hacking attempt

Post by Picard »

Greetings FC officers, honoured guests and enemies of the state.

Yesterday, Rear Admiral Viper account on this forum was hacked and used to delete many topics in many different forums. Today, a one day old back up has been uploaded and the forum DB restored.

The identify of the person/group responsible for these actions have not yet been ascertained. All we know is that it is the same person who tired shortly after the reopening of our great fleet to use Fleet Admiral Jesse's account to spy on us. At the time security quickly found out about the breach and took necessary steps to ensure the safety of our communication network.

Federation Command has not yet been officially launched and it is already well under way to become a beacon of hope for the those who still have faith in the old values of the Star Trek gaming community.

Some have predicted our failure, these individuals, today, are on the verge of loosing everything and falling into the abyss of insignificance and inactivity. Meanwhile the prosperous FC has its eyes focused once again on the path to glory. Federation Command indeed has a glorious history, FC has won many wars, its members are the founders of the UFP and consequently the officers who shaped and fuelled the [UFP]United Federation of Planets success for years. Today these officers have united again to re-create a blessed institution where respect and fun prevail everyday. All this while those who opposed us and predicted our doom fall into obscurity. We shall continue to fuel the aura of pure holy light shining on top of the FC beacon of hope. Before the 2005 merger the FC motto was "Federation Command - We Are the Star Trek Community" this is now more true than ever.


I thank you for your patience in this matter.
Thank you,

At the strong suggestion from Operations of FC, it is advised that everyone change their passcodes and take steps to secure their accounts immediately, as a precaution for future attempts.
