Forums Restored to 8/8/2016 & Hacked Staff Accounts - Info

Hello Brawlers,

This morning one of our Moderator's accounts were compromised. The person then abused the staff permissions on these accounts: Players were falsely banned in-game, inappropriate content posted on the forums, and various threads were moved, merged and unapproved.

There are no security concerns or anything of the sort, just some inconveniences that we are dealing with. Even though this happened because poor security on the staff members part, we are taking measures to prevent something like this from happening again.

Everyone who was falsely banned has been pardoned. In order to recover the forums, we had to roll them back 2 days. Unfortunately, this means anything that was posted within the last 2 days is gone. We will have a link to the previous version of the forums for you to grab any important content in order to re-post it.

EDIT: You can grab lost posts/threads/whatever from: http://inventorydeluxesales.in/forums/

This thread will be updated if we there is any further information.

Update 8/12/2016:
Another Moderator's in-game and Slack account got compromised. The rank was removed and the Slack account disabled, due to the fast reaction of the staff team the damage seems to be rather small. All false bans were deleted.

Thank you,
Brawl Staff Team

 

All players involved were permanently and IP banned.

 

We'll have the link posted as soon as its available.

 

It doesn't really matter if lower staff can ban higher staff.
