As it can only really effect forum accounts they gain access to no sensitive data. That is why it is just a forum topic. I wanted to warn everyone but not have any over reaction.
It is important to note that even with the passwords it is not possible to connect to our database remotly without being on a white list. Only the ips of the game servers are on this list.

any way to tell if the database had been accessed?
and what brought this up to your attention?

if one had a networking site link such as face book on there forum profile, and there forum profile was compromised, one would assume they may go as far as attempting to use the password they found with our other sites you are affiliated to?

I think this should be sent to everyone just as a precaution to tell them to change their passwords. You don't want this coming back and nipping you in the butt

I would be able to tell because it would require them to hack the root of the website and add them self to the white list of the firewall. There are also access logs for root and I am the only ip in there. The database is so locked down that I can not even access it remotely. I can only access it locally from within the server. So there is no way anyone could have accessed it.
I was informed about it via e-mail from a user on the forums.
So yea nothing was actually compromised other than the account data for the sql server (that account is now deleted). I just posted this thread right away because on the old web server from a few years ago anyone could access the database remotely. I forgot that I do not allow that anymore in order to make a brute force hack impossible.
So no worries all is good
