Important Notice:

It's our duty to inform the SA-MP community that the servers that run the SA-MP web site and forum have become the target of a hacker.

On the 6th of June 2010, a hacker, whose IP address originated from France, exploited the software that runs the SA-MP forum and installed a back door on our servers. This back door was then used, illegally, to download a large amount of data from our servers.

The data downloaded includes user information from the forum and wiki. Even though the password information stored in the database is encrypted, we would still like to urge anyone who is registered on the SA-MP forum to consider this very important notice:

If you have used the same password on the SA-MP forum anywhere else, especially on any e-mail accounts, we urge you to change those passwords immediately!

Unfortunately, it is not safe to bring back the forum or wiki at this stage. We are collecting and preserving evidence of the attack for submission to authorities and to aid in their investigations.
