Taking it from the top
1) The recent outage of the bulletin board was due to a hardware failure. Nothing more.
2) Our WEB site was hacked, using a Joomla exploit. We took corrective actions to prevent it again. The BBS server, nor the game servers were, and never have been, hacked.
3) Our WEB server is at one location, and BBS servers is in a physically different location. The game servers are in, yet, another location apart from the WEB and BBS servers. All this is done to elevate the security of the game and the user data associated with the game. Within those locations are additional levels of security to further protect the information users entrust to us.
In the 14 years we have been in business, we have never had a clients data compromised, nor has their computer been compromised by using any of the tools we provide.
FYI: Even kidding around about cheating and hacking will get you banned from the board and the game.
