No big deal. My last update was less than 24 hours ago. It'll be back very soon, their entire business depends on it.
Most tech companies right now are probably patching up their SSL connections right now, after an OpenSSL vulnerability went to the wilds. This may mean a couple of different things including temporary network shutdown. Try looking up Heartbleed.
Yes they have. I haven't been able to get to the forums for 3 days now. The main page and support pages are fine. The forums are another story.
What does he have to do with the Avast forums? This thread is about Avast server problems. Not anything else.
I recieve email from them stating that there forums where hack. "The AVAST forum is currently offline and will remain so for a brief period. It was hacked over this past weekend and user nicknames, user names, email addresses and hashed (one-way encrypted) passwords were compromised. Even though the passwords were hashed, it could be possible for a sophisticated thief to derive many of the passwords. If you use the same password and user names to log into any other sites, please change those passwords immediately. Once our forum is back online, all users will be required to set new passwords as the compromised passwords will no longer work. This issue only affects our community-support forum. No payment, license, or financial systems or other data were compromised. We are now rebuilding the forum and moving it to a different software platform. When it returns, it will be faster and more secure. This forum for many years has been hosted on a third-party software platform and how the attacker breached the forum is not yet known. However, we do believe that the attack just occurred and we detected it essentially immediately. We realize that it is serious to have these usernames stolen and regret the concern and inconvenience it causes you. However, this is an isolated third-party system and your sensitive data remains secure. All the best, Ondrej Vlcek COO AVAST Software"
