PSA: Forum / Portal Software Upgraded, All Members Must Update Password
This past weekend we updated our Forum and Portal software to the latest Xenforo v2.2.1 (upgraded again since to Xenforo v2.2.2) and XenPorta 2 v2.2.0.4 respectively, and beginning today ALL members must update their password when they next login. 
Why require everyone to update their passwords?
As if 2020 hasn't sucked hard enough, it appears this domain has been involved in a data breach according to a forum member who contacted us stating they recently received a Chrome browser notice to change a compromised password they apparently only used here... but unfortunately the alert didn't include any specific breach details which puts us in limbo a bit. 
What can be done about reported data breaches?
Checking HaveIBeenPwned.com with the Administrator email used here it currently returns the following result:

With the related passwords changed and the Forum / Portal software updated to the latest versions they certainly should remain secure.
Hypothetically speaking, if one of the Web hosts we've used was insecure or someone who did work for us in the past was compromised (either...
