On Saturday, October 3, between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM FST, a cracker broke into Furcadia and went in-game as a staffer. This user then broadcast usernames and passwords on the news channel. Fel posted a news article on the forum outlining Furc's official account of events and naming the users whose passwords were compromised.

If your main or any of your alts is on that list, then follow the link to change your password.
If your password on Furc is similar to any password you use anywhere else, it's time to change not just that password but your password practices as well. Use a different password for everything, because if your password on one site gets compromised and the attacker knows you have accounts elsewhere, he's going to try that same password elsewhere. Use a different password, and if you have to write them all down somewhere, use a small pad or small book, and guard it as closely as you guard your checkbook and cards.
