This is an important security warning. An unauthorized person has gained administrative access to the typo3.org website. The offender had access to website user details including their passwords, and there have been reports of this data being used to access other websites. It also has to be expected that the data may have been disclosed to third parties. The attacker has been identified, and the TYPO3 Association has started to take legal action on the issue. IMPORTANT: If you have used the same password on any other site, please change it immediately! In a first step, all login accounts on TYPO3.org have been locked and will require a new password. We are currently working on an improved login procedure and will let you know when this is ready. Until then, you will not be able to log into the Community section of TYPO3.org. We apologize for the inconveniences and troubles that this might cause to you. TYPO3 Association
