MattLightfoot 1 Posted July 16, 2013 Hi all, As some of you are aware, both the BI forums and the DayZ forums were taken down late last week in response to someone attempting to gain illicit access to some areas of our websites. As is clear the BI forums are now back online. Hopefully the DayZ forums will be up shortly, so hopefully we will have more news either later today or first thing tomorrow morning (CET Time). I'll post an update here with any changes in the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattLightfoot 1 Posted July 18, 2013 Back up now, delay was due to trying to get the force password app working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted July 18, 2013 A little more from the DayZ Forums (including e-mail adress if problems arise) :) Hi all,I apologise for the forum downtime, the reason for this is due to us hacked and our subsequent clean up of said malicious code, we also decided that at the same time we would carry out some well needed maintenance on the site. We have are also forcing all users to change their passwords as a further precaution. If you have any issues with logging in please drop me an e-mail at matt.lightfoot@bistudio.com and I will be able to assist you. Again I'm sorry for the downtime and welcome back!
