    Default I keep getting that mail about the forum breach constantly.

    What should I do about it? The notification everyday is bothersome.

    They said that they handled it and to change your passwords, no need to worry.

    Thanks for letting us know. You should only receive one email per address. We're looking into it.

    What is it about? I haven't had one but quite a few of my in-game friends have.
    Do we all get one?

    They notified us that some information of our forum accounts have been leaked like email address, Password hashes, dob if given, and ip address. We should change our password.
    Note that forum account and game account may be different if you used a different email and different passwords.

    The intruders gained access to forum account information including:

    * Email address
    * Salted password hashes
    * Date of birth, if provided
    * IP address

    I copied that from the email. Does anybody know what salted password hashes are?
