Websites news  
So... there's a problem with the websites. Apparently one of my host's databases has been infiltrated and as such my password's been reset. Fine, not a problem, expcept for the fact that I now can't log in to the FTP site. So this is a head's up. I can't updare the websites at the moment, I'm trying to get it fixed asap, but my time online's limited as you know.

I'm not a happy bunny right now.

(any of the rest of you with DreamHost having similar issues? I know [livejournal.com profile] dragonydreams and [livejournal.com profile] stir_of_echoes had accounts there, are you still with 'em guys? Can you get to either the FTP site or the WebFTP?)

Edit to add

SO it seems as though it's taking its time to register the changes in passwords. It's been... about two hours I think? And it's now recognising me, so guys, if you're having this problem just give it time.

I just tried logging in to my FTP and wasn't able to either. When I logged into my account at Dreamhost this message displayed:

Due to some unauthorized activity we detected within one of our databases, we have forced a reset of all FTP/SFTP and shell passwords as a precaution.

If you're having trouble logging into your FTP or shell accounts, please visit the "Users > Manage Users" tab and update your passwords there.


Thanks for the head's up. I was planning on updating the Willowy Goodness Awards today. Now I need to try updating my password first.

Not a problem - it seems to be working for me now, took a couple of hours to register the change but now it's working.
