Hello,

You are receiving this message because you have an account registered with
this address on ubuntuforums.org.

The Ubuntu forums software was compromised by an external attacker. As a
result, the attacker has gained access to read your username, email address
and an encrypted copy of your password from the forum database.

If you have used this password and email address to authenticate at any
other website, you are urged to reset the password on those accounts
immediately as the attacker may be able to use the compromised personal
information to access these other accounts. It is important to have a
distinct password for different accounts.

The ubuntuforums.org website is currently offline and we are working to
restore this service. Please take the time to change your
ubuntuforums.orgaccount password when service is restored.

We apologize for any inconvenience to the Ubuntu community, thank you for
your understanding.

The Canonical Sysadmins.
