Ooc: Thius text is directly copied from www.tibia.org: ___________________ Hacking attack on Tibia's servers In the night from September 17 to September 18 one of our servers was hacked. Unfortunately the hacker got access to our central database. Therefore we had to shutdown our complete service. We are currently patching all servers and changing important parts of our data structure to ensure more security in the future. A complete reset to a state before the hack is inevitable. Of course we will do our best to be online again as soon as possible and provide a compensation to all premium players for their lost time. In addition, we started investigations to identify and prosecute the hacker. More details about this incident will be announced once our normal web server is available again. UPDATE: Due to the hacking of the database we changed all passwords and recovery keys. You will receive an email at the address your account is registered to. If you have no access to your email account you cannot log in in the next time. We will work on a solution for this problem and inform you in the next days. Please also remember the following: NOBODY WILL EVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD! Only you know your password. Even we don't know your password from now. Nobody of the CIP-Team will ever ask for your password. Remember it and DO NOT tell it to anyone else. ONLY ENTER YOUR PASSWORD AT OUR SITE! You need your password to log into the account website at www.tibia.com and to log into the game with the original Tibia Client. DO NOT enter it at any other websites or any other programs. Our service will go online on September 22nd around 11:00 CEST. We hope that we can soon continue our normal work, the work on the next bigger game update you are already expecting for a long time! See you again in Tibia! Your CIP-Team ___________________ Our best wishes to CIP team and we hope that the losses were as minimal as possible.
