So to clear... After many allegations that our community forums / website have been compromised we can safely announce this is false information.

So to clear this all up here is our official announcement:

1) The cause
Yesterday one of our support staff decided to use vulgar and aggressive language which greatly offended a community member. For this I personally and on behalf of the ZPanelCP Project would like to apologise. This member of staff will not be participating in the ZPanelCP team anymore.

2) What actually got hacked into
Later that day the ZPanel Module Directory (an application built by Tom Gates) was hacked into and the server it was hosted on was compromised. This is NOT the zpanelcp.com server : http://i.imgur.com/UAKE40Y.png
This was Tom Gate's server not a zpanelcp.com server (anyone can perform a traceroute or ping to confirm this).

3) Forum staff accounts abused
The passwords for this application were decrypted (only MD5 was used to store the passwords).
Two staff members (tgates and PS2Guy) had reused passwords allowing the hacker of the Module Directory application to instantly access the corresponding accounts on forums.zpanelcp.com.

4) Security issues raised
The security issues mentioned in the following article (http://imgur.com/a/lzRuo) are already fixed, however we are a short way off being able to release the new version. All known security vulnerabilities have been announced on here with fixes and guides. If anyone finds a security vulnerability in our software please report it on our public bug tracker for myself and the rest of the core development team to review. If we are able to reproduce the issue we will fix it, however please be aware we are very busy individuals and haven't got spare time to spend every week to fix them. This is an open source project and anyone can freely contribute to make it better / more secure.

5) Questions
If anyone has any questions regarding any of this please feel free to contact us on this forums.

Kind regards,
