We are in the process of sharing exposed email address data with the breach disclosure website haveibeenpwned to increase awareness. There are no plans to make other country-level breach notifications. The current forum server was hosted in the UK, so we have notified the UK Information Commissioner's Office of the breach and a report has been filed with the UK police. As part of the redeployment we will restrict and harden access to the MyBB admin console, revise admin roles to reduce privileges wherever possible, and improve audit logging and backup processes. This is not a simple task and the forum will remain offline until it completes: we estimate several days more work. This requires us to extract and review all differences between the latest MyBB release and the fork we maintain, which includes numerous functional changes and backported security fixes. We have chosen to redeploy the forum on the latest version of MyBB software. We have not seen any evidence of compromise or other reason to question the integrity of the existing system, but a migration was already being planned and we will bring this forwards. The admin team are in the process of commissioning a new forum server. We will post more information as it becomes available. Once the Kodi forum comes back online we will provide instructions on how to complete a reset of your Kodi forum password. If you have used the same username and password on any other site, you should follow the password reset/change procedure for that site. Users must assume their Kodi forum credentials and any private data shared with other users through the user-to-user messaging system is compromised.There is currently no time estimate for the forum server being online again our focus is being thorough, not being quick. This will also impact the Kodi pastebin and wiki sites. The forum server has been taken offline while this activity completes.
