Dear SwordBattle.io Community,
We are writing to inform you about a recent security incident that has occurred on our forum platform. We regret to inform you that our forum database has been compromised, and as a result, there is a possibility that user IPs and other forum info may have been leaked. We take this matter very seriously and want to provide you with all the information we have regarding the incident.
Upon discovering the breach, our team immediately launched a thorough investigation to assess the extent of the incident and identify the potential impact on our users. While we have no evidence at this time to suggest that any personal information beyond IP addresses was accessed or misused, we believe in transparency and want to ensure you have all the facts.
What Happened? Our initial findings indicate that an unauthorized party gained access to our forum’s database through a vulnerability in our security measures. This allowed them to potentially obtain user IPs. We have since patched the vulnerability and implemented additional security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
We recommend to change your password immediately or enable 2FA on your forum account just as a security precaution
What Information Was Compromised? The primary data that may have been accessed during this breach is user IP addresses and other user information like emails, personal chats with other users, and maybe encrypted password hashes (not the password itself). Rest assured that we do not store any sensitive information on our forum platform, so everything should be safe for you unless you shared or posted any sensitive information here.
Your Privacy and Security Matter At SwordBattle.io, we understand that your privacy and security are of paramount importance. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience or concern this incident may have caused. We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of data protection and will continue to enhance our security measures to safeguard your information.
If you have any questions or require further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We are here to help you.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and ongoing support. We will continue to keep you updated on any significant developments regarding this incident. Thank you for being part of the SwordBattle.io community.
Stay safe and battle on!
UPDATE
After more investigation done by the team, we have found IPs, and encrypted passwords (NOT THE ACTUAL PASSWORD) have been leaked. From what we have seen emails have not been leaked though.
Just for safety, reset your password ASAP to a secure password. If you need assistance contact [email protected] .
