Webminister badgeGreetings!

If you are the webminister for an eastkingdom.org hosted site (local group, guild, etc.) that uses WordPress, please read the following:

http://blog.hostgator.com/2013/04/11/global-wordpress-brute-force-flood/

There are attacks being leveled at WordPress-powered sites and any site that has a weak password will be especially vulnerable. If you can take the time to change your site’s password(s), please do so.

Seneschals, please be sure your webministers have read and understand the implications of this notice.

If there are any questions or concerns that your site may have been compromised or otherwise affected, please let us know. We’ll do what we can.

In Service,
Mael Eoin mac Echuid
EK System Administrator, EK Webminister’s Office

Note from Gazette: this article was distributed by the EKSA two days ago so the problem may have been resolved by now.
