Last night MouseBits was hacked. Using a security hole in the tracker software, the hacker was able to make MouseBits forward users to another BitTorrent website. Aside from this small change, no other damage was done. Service has been completely restored with no loss of data.
Measures have been taken to close this security hole by updating our tracker software with the latest changes.
This makes two disruptions in one week! Once again, thank you for your patience during this unplanned downtime.

Title: Server upgrade complete
Service has been restored following a lengthy service outgate to update the server's operating system. This infrequent upgrade won't be needed for another two years, and next time it will be much faster.
