Theres no need to spread FUD on what amounts to (probably) a simple capacity issue.

you should always be careful with your personal information. Theres plenty of information (both right and wrong) about how to safeguard yourself. Probably the biggest lesson everyone learns too late is, never use the same password twice.
Absolutely nailed it here.

Server slowness due to capacity issues, so we've been on the process of upgrading things. Alot of resources and data to deal with. We taking a slow and methodical approach to maintain security and not lose any data.

No hacking happening that we know of, but of course as mentioned its always good idea to keep safe practices on the internet because you just never know. Whats nice about vB is that it doesnt store raw passwords, but rather a hashed version of your password

On a positive note we are nearing the end of upgrades, and we've pushed a new certificate so almost all the sites are covered now. If anyone is still seeing certificate warning try refreshing browser or closing and restarting it

Thank you for keeping realistic a perspective in this thread
